Bank stocks helped the Greek market's main index climb almost 1 percent on Monday, following their outlook upgrade by Moody's and despite the increase in the yield on Greek bonds on the secondary market.

Greek stocks continued to move in a narrow range for another day yesterday, with the majority ending lower again, but the benchmark at Athinon Avenue put an end to its four-day losing streak and posted a moderate rise, mainly assisted by the fresh drop in Greek bond yields.

Afternoon selling at the Greek stock market offset all of Tuesday morning's gains, leading the main index at Athinon Avenue lower for a fourth consecutive day.
