With a volume of… € 5 million the rise in the Stock Exchange

With a turnover of just over 16 million euros, the Athens Stock Exchange is trying to reach 900 points again today, even having the majority of its securities in positive territory.

In particular, the General Index records gains of 0.74% at 896.17 points, while the turnover is at 16.1 million euros and the volume at 4.9 million units. The FTSE 25 also recorded an increase of 0.83%, to 2,150.89 points, while the banking index gained 0.44% to 582.04 points.

On every American or British holiday, on the current American holiday as it is Thanksgiving, the ATHEX confirms that there are many orders coming from the other side of the Atlantic. Thus, the volume after more than three hours of meeting does not even exceed 5 million pieces, 1/5 of which has been handled by Alpha Bank. So there are about 3.7 million units left for the remaining shares of the Greek market…

Such a picture clearly can not lead to safe conclusions about whether the current reaction has strong footholds on the board, with the prevailing view now holding… a small basket. After all, all expectations for a strong finish in November have now been dashed, as the pandemic in our country, but also in the rest of Europe, had a different view of what “normalcy” would mean this winter as well.

However, even in this context, there are analysts who believe that the Greek economy has positive prospects and the Greek stock market has significant values. Today it was Jefferies that upgraded its stance on the Greek market from moderate bullish to absolutely bullish. “Greece is doing the best it can”, he points out, expecting surprises in the economy in the whole of 2021, as it will move to the levels of 8% and much higher than the 5% previously predicted by Jefferies, almost offsetting the 2020 contraction.

Of course, the big complaint of many domestic portfolios is that while foreign analysts as a whole pay homage to Greece, while maintaining a constructive attitude, the Greek market has remained swamped at the same levels since April. And if this wave of pandemics continues at the same pace, the last month of the year is not expected to change the market picture for the better.
