Renewed geopolitical worries, after a wave of bombing attacks in the Middle East during the weekend, undermined sentiment in international and the Greek markets on Monday, pushing stock prices sharply lower.

All sector indices ended lower with the Textile, Publications and Base Metals sectors suffering the heaviest percentage losses of the day (5.26 percent, 2.95 percent and 2.87 percent, respectively).
The FTSE/ASE 20 index for blue chip and heavy traded stocks fell 1.53 percent, the FTSE/ASE MID 40 index ended 1.56 percent lower and the FTSE/ASE SmallCap 80 index plunged 2.76 percent.
Broadly, decliners led advancers by 302 to 30 with another 19 issues unchanged.
