LAST INFORMATION 13:10
of Manos Hachladakis
To change course is the Athens Avenue after an initial lead by the sellers, with a background to the change of trend that is being deleted at the last hour in oil prices.
In particular, the General Index moves at 2,208 points with 0.35% profits and the turnover at 82m euros, while 11.5 million pieces have been moved.
The banking index declines by 0.8% to 2,493 units, the FTSE of high capitalization is rising 0.35% to 5.597 mon. and FTSEM of the middle negotiates at 2,858 mon. with -0.3%.
Last meeting in April today, which despite the side-fall traffic in most of it (-3.66% the DG from 15/04 to today) has been a month of recovery thanks to its strong start (+10.87% to 15/04).
Thus, the DG entered trading today with +6.57% in April as a whole, starring as usual the banking industry, since the DTP writes +9,82% in the same period.
From there, the investment interest seems to be decreasing more and more as the days pass without the slightest development on the front of the Middle East, with a characteristic that the turnover on Athens Avenue stayed yesterday at just 171.95m euros.
It was also indicative of the change of just -0.11% by which the DG closed, which "landed" exactly over 2,200 units, receiving support from the Biocos Group (mainly the 6.7% Cenergy rally) and the two refineries benefiting from the ejecting of oil prices.
Brent now stepped on all $120 a barrel, touching high four years (since June 2022 and the initial stage at the time of the war in Ukraine) without any prospect of de-escalation of pressure since the Straits of Hormuz remain "sealed".
However, as mentioned above, in the last hour there has been a trend change with prices now having a negative effect, although no direct correlation has yet been apparent.
In the latest known developments on the subject, however, D. Trump examines a prolonged blockade of Iranian ports, while according to Axios the commander of US forces will present to the president new plans for possible military action.
From there on, the Fed has maintained its interest rates unchanged at yesterday's sitting but with the most enlarged degree of disagreement between its officials since 1992, as they voted in favour of the 8-4 decision. It was also the last meeting of the planet's strongest central bank with Jay Powell at her wheel, who said she would remain at the Fed Board but keeping low tones.
The baton today passes to the ECB, which is essentially a fact that it will not make any interference with its borrowing costs either, with the attention of being focused on the statements made by Governor Christian Lagarde about the future moods of the Eurobank officials at the time the noose of inflation is re-triggered.
As Eurostat has informed today, the IMF in the euro area has accelerated to 3% annually in April from 2.6%, with eject at 4.6% (from 3.4%) for Greece. At the same time, GDP showed a marginal increase of 0.1% both in the euro area and in the EU in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the previous one.
Another point of attention is the barrage of results announcements made last night by companies in the group of so-called "Magnificent 7", with "winning" primarily Google Alphabet, Youtube, Gmail (rally 7% pre-conference) and after Amazon (+2.7%), while Meta Facebook, Instagram failed (-7%) and Microsoft was rather "slip" (+0.03%), while baton passes today on Apple.
