ATHENS: The Greek stock exchange’s general index fell slightly to 569.6 points on Monday, a 0.30 percent drop from its previous closing.
Bank stocks in Athens were among the biggest downward movers in the wake of nervousness among investors following Europe-wide stress tests whose results were published on Friday. This was a trend that was replicated at bourses across the continent.
National Bank shares fell 6.44 percent, followed by Eurobank (-5.10 percent), Piraeus (-2.67 percent) and Alpha (-1.13 percent).
GEK Terna and Grivalia Properties saw the day’s biggest increases, up 2.06 and 2.02 percent respectively. Overall, 48 stocks rose, 41 fell and 13 remained stable.
