Greek stocks ended the first trading session of a new week slightly lower, as renewed buying demand for blue chip stocks, like National Bank, Alpha Bank, Emporiki Bank, OPAP and Cosmote, helped to a recovery of earlier biggest losses in the Athens Stock Exchange.
The general index ended 0.08 percent lower at 2,193.17 points, with turnover a low 96.7 million euros.
The Publications, Construction and IT sectors suffered the heaviest percentage losses of the day (2.22 percent, 0.90 percent and 0.38 percent, respectively), while the Base Metals, Retail and Investment sectors scored the biggest percentage gains (2.12 percent, 0.73 percent and 0.71 percent, respectively).
The FTSE/ASE 20 index for blue chip and heavy traded stocks rose 0.01 percent, the FTSE/ASE MID 40 index ended 0.16 percent higher and the FTSE/ASE SmallCap 80 index rose 0.19 percent.
Broadly, decliners led advancers by 195 to 111 with another 61 issues unchanged.
