Bank stock continued to grow at Athinon Avenue on Wednesday, but other stocks bogged the benchmark down, preventing it from registering another 13-year high after Tuesday\u2019s record. Even the profit-taking effort by some traders proved short-lived and the favorable corporate news points to further gains in the days to come, barring any external concern.<\/p>\n

The Athens Exchange (ATHEX) general index closed at 1,506.48 points, shedding less than 0.01% from Tuesday\u2019s 1,506.61 points. The large-cap FTSE-25 index contracted 0.15%, ending at 3,672.83 points, though mid-caps expanded 0.31%.<\/p>\n

The banks index improved 0.17%, with Alpha growing 1.44%, Piraeus fetching 0.72% and Eurobank climbing 0.51%, while National dropped 1.10% and Optima slipped 0.16%.<\/p>\n

Jumbo parted with 2.26% and Metlen eased 2.06%, just as ElvalHalcor advanced 1.88%.<\/p>\n

In total 42 stocks boasted gains, 51 posted losses and 27 remained unchanged.<\/p>\n

Turnover amounted to 160.3 million euros, down from Tuesday\u2019s \u20ac166.5 million.<\/p>\n

In Nicosia, the general index of the Cyprus Stock Exchange increased 0.55% to close at 220.32 points.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
