"Battle positions" seem to take investors to the Athens market, as the absence of developments (at least positive) in US-Iran relations seems to remove the possibility of finding the gold incision for the end of the war and the placements on the dashboards internationally suggest widespread caution.
In particular, with the exception of the first two minutes of trade, the General Index was permanently moved to negative territory and completed in 2.229.59 mon. with fall 1,37% (low day at 2.225 Mon.).
Banking index closed on 2,588.95 units with -1,6%, the FTSE of high capitalization retreated to 5,664,8 mon. with -1,46%, while the middle FTSEM recorded smaller losses 0,51% THE 2.843.6 m.
After the fall yesterday at EUR 182.5 million, the turnover was increased but also at low levels of the EUR 232,14 million, of which 20,2 million in 19 packages (1 in PPC for 4,15 million, 4 in Piraeus for 6,9 million, 3 in the EIB for 4.2 million, 3 in Eurobank for 1.7 million) with the volume of transactions in 37,7 million pieces.
The meeting was also marked today by the absence of any substantial interest and the almost total lack of purchasing. The DG quickly retreated, in the first half of the year, to the 2,230 unit area and has since moved "horizontally" at these levels, with placements in higher valuations in the large layers being exceptions.
More generally, if the last hour of Friday's transactions is excluded, characterized by enthusiasm due to the news that the Straits of Ormuz are fully opened (anticipatement cancelled a few hours later only), from last Tuesday's high (14.04) is clear a tendency to restrict positions from some portfolios, while the rest are holding a waiting stop. Something that will hardly change if there are no developments in the US – Iran war issue.
In this regard, the expansion of the truce announced yesterday by President Trump probably increased uncertainty as he avoided giving any timetable, with Tehran appreciating that a surprise attack by American forces is imminent, while arguing that he seized two cargo ships in Hormuz today.
According to reports by Axios, Trump allegedly give Iran 3 to 5 days to return to talksAnd if he doesn't, he'll end the truce. A possibility that if confirmed will mean close meetings by the end of the week (both in Athens and internationally).
