ATHEX: Benchmark adds 29.4% in November

November may have been the month of the second lockdown, but it was also the month of the Greek stock market, as its benchmark rebounded 29.4% over the period and the banks index recorded a rise of almost 70% on a monthly basis. Monday's session changed little in the month's statistics, although large trading volume was observed due to index rebalancing.

The banks index eased 0.09%, as Alpha earned 1.55% and Piraeus collected 0.90%, while Eurobank lost 1.65% and National slipped 0.20%.

Aegean Air jumped 6.89% and ADMIE Holdings advanced 6.12%, but Viohalco gave up 5.82%.
