The Greek stock market opened in the last week of the year with very low trading volume and focus on specific securities, which remains in the zone of 890 points, but has pressures on specific shares. The general index recorded losses of 0.27% dropping to 888.30 points, with a turnover of 12 million euros.
Two titles have attracted market attention today. The first is that of Attica Bank, which with the -11.79% it records has traded almost 3 million units, during the second session of the listing of new shares that resulted from the recent capital increase of 240 million euros. The second is that of Kekropas, who loses 20% and has traded over 330 thousand pieces, as rumors are growing that the Supreme Court did not end the decades-long dispute between the company and the Greek State for an area of about 300 acres in area of Paleo Psychiko (known as the area of Latomio).
The above two shares have traded about half of the volume today, with Alpha Bank, Eurobank and then Terna Energy, Piraeus and Ethniki all receiving the lion’s share. Thus, the “remaining pieces in circulation” are so few that any conclusion is uncertain about the intentions of the market.
In terms of securities, Aegean recorded losses of 2.25%, with Viohalco, Coca Cola and PPA following with a fall of more than 1%. Alpha Bank, Motor Oil, Eurobank, OPAP, Ethniki, PPC and IPTO are moving down, while Piraeus, OTE, GEK Terna and Titan are moving positively.
