The Greek stock market managed to hang on to its morning gains and bring an end to its six-day losing streak yesterday, with the benchmark ending the session near its day high. However, low turnover and the general weakness in investor moves suggested that Wednesday's rise was merely technical rather than anything substantial.

Daily turnover on the Greek stock market was the lowest in eight sessions on Tuesday, while both the benchmark and the blue chip index lost ground in line with the downbeat mood on stock markets abroad.

Traders' stop-loss move during the latter part of Friday's session at the Athens stock market preserved the benchmark's gains since Monday, with the main index chalking up its first weekly increase after four consecutive weeks of losses.

The ATHEX general index ended at 633.27 points, shedding 0.03 percent from Thursday's 633.46 points. On a weekly basis it rose 1.35 percent.

George A. David, Chairman Emeritus of Coca-Cola HBC AG, has been honored for his outstanding contribution to business relations between Greece and the UK by the British-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce.

The event took place during the annual back-to-business dinner held at the Athens residence of British Ambassador Kate Smith on Wednesday.

The benchmark of the Athens bourse managed to top 700 points on Wednesday after 12 sessions below the psychologically important level, as the situation at Folli Follie became clearer and Greek bond yields continued to ease. This time it was non-bank blue chips that drove the main index and turnover higher.

After Monday's respite, the benchmark of the Greek bourse tumbled back below the 700-point level on Tuesday, mainly due to the near-7 percent decline of the banks index, which continued to suffer pressure.

Banks recorded robust gains on Monday, leading the benchmark at the Athens stock market higher in the first session of the week.

Stocks of Piraeus Bank, PPC, Jumbo and the National Bank overperformed, though turnover remained thin.

Coca-Cola HBC led the Greek stock index higher on Thursday as the biggest company listed in Athens enjoyed a rise of 3.50 percent, just as the majority of stocks headed lower. Turnover narrowly cleared the 30-million-euro bar.

Jurg Burkhalter is the new CEO of Coca-Cola HBC Bulgaria, the company said.

He will replace the current head Svetoslav Atanasov, who will continue his career as executive director of Coca-Cola HBC for Serbia and Montenegro.
