The relegation of National Bank, Eurobank and Piraeus Bank from the MSCI Standard index for emerging markets into the MSCI Small Cap Index, from which Ellaktor has also been removed, had a significant impact on Wednesday's trading session at Athinon Avenue, hurting the prices not only of bank stocks but other sectors too.
