Making better use of the OAKA Olympic Stadium is two decades overdue.

Stocks close marginally up, quietly

The Athens Stock Exchange closed only marginally higher Monday on very low turnover. Nonetheless, it extended its winning run to six sessions, with a cumulative rise of 3.61%.

The general index closed at 1,432.28 points, a gain of 0.03%. Throughout the session, it moved within a narrow band of less than 10 points, from a low of 1,428.44 (-0.24%) to a high of 1,436.74 (+0.34%).

The general index closed at 1,367.78, up 1.98% on a still high turnover of €161.78 million. Blue chips gained 2.24% and mid-caps 1.57%. Banks gained 1.88%.
