However, there is clearly an optimism in the market, as according to information cited by ot.gr, the process of increasing the share capital of PPC is breaking every record. According to ot.gr, one hour after the opening of the book of offers and the private placement has already collected the requested amount of the increase which is 1,350 billion euros. The offers exceeds all expectations, while the book remains open.
At the same time, foreign investors are awaiting the Fed’s decision on Wednesday, which is expected to approve plans to cut its $ 120 billion monthly bond-buying program. Investors will also focus on commenting on interest rates and how sustainable the recent rise in inflation is.

On the other hand, the profits in PPA, Sarantis, Coca Cola, Alpha Bank, and Viohalko contribute to the positive sign of the general index.
