6 ½ month high for the CSE Index
7-month high for the trading volume
12-cent rise for BOC closed at CYP 1,51
The CSE general index enjoyed once again a new day of gains, closing at 106.1 points gaining another 4.9% in the first trading session of November. These successive rises since October 10, as well as investors’ return to the trading floor have resulted to a total increase of the CSE index of 34%.
Despite the climate of euphoria on the trading floor, politicians seem to be fairly cautious. Specifically, the MP of DIKO, Markos Kyprianou ‘sounds the alarm’ and urges investors to be less enthusiastic and excessive. Similarly, the MP of DISY, Prodromos Prodromou, stated to SW that “investors must be cautious”. This does not mean, however, that investors must be prevented from investing in the CSE. They have to be careful and self-controlled.
FTSE20 – mostly influenced by the banking sector that surged 6.2% - recorded remarkable gains of 6.5% reaching 407.3 points.

The Bank of Cyprus warrants with 7.9 per cent of the total trading volume soared 22.5 per cent to 44.6 cents adding the remarkable 254 per cent to its value since October 10.
