ATHEX: November ends with 0.78% rise

The Greek bourse session on Friday showed some worrying signs for observers, with the benchmark closing at the day's low, below the psychologically significant 1,400-point level, and with one of the biggest listed companies, National Bank, seeing its price lose significant ground. The market continues to fret over a government intervention with some extraordinary levy that could be slapped on power companies or on banks' profits. Still, November closed with monthly gains of 0.78%.

The Athens Exchange (ATHEX) general index closed at 1,393.49 points, shedding 0.74% from Thursday's 1,403.83 points. On a weekly basis it declined 0.58%.

The large-cap FTSE-25 index contracted 0.87%, ending at 3,356.95 points and the banks index conceded 1.14%, as National fell 2.11%, Alpha gave up 0.88%, Piraeus parted with 0.77% and Eurobank shied 0.50%.
