Stock Exchange: Relief Rally of Over 3% - The Best Session Since April

The Athens Stock Exchange experienced a significant rise of over 3%, marking its best session since April 2025 due to improved market sentiment and strong economic expectations for 2025.

The Athens Stock Exchange showed a notable improvement in sentiment as buyers stepped in to halt the recent corrective trend, completing its best trading session since April 2025. This increase was fueled by more attractive prices of listed stocks following recent corrections and strong expectations regarding economic figures for the fiscal year 2025. However, it's worth noting that while this rally brought a boost, it does not definitively eliminate market volatility.

Specifically, on the third day of the week, the General Index recorded an impressive gain of 3.30%, finishing at the day's high of 2,327.44 points, gaining nearly 75 points compared to Tuesday's close of 2,253.06 points. The range of daily fluctuations was noted to be 64 points, ranging from 2,273.57 to 2,327.45 points, with the trading turnover amounting to 319.6 million euros, of which approximately 21.7 million euros were from pre-agreed packages.

On the trading board, the focus is on various stocks that contributed significantly to this surge, and while this rally may provide temporary relief, it is essential for investors to remain cautious due to potential market volatility ahead. This development indicates a period of recovery for the stock exchange and reflects general investor sentiment amid changing economic conditions.
