Stocks end off lows on Mon
Stocks ended moderately lower at the Athens Stock Exchange on Monday, significantly reducing initial heavy losses as the market found support in non-financials blue chip stocks and particularly OPAP. Bank shares remained under pressure to end sharply lower. The composite index of the market ended at 740.06 points, off 0.58 pct, after plunging 5.78 pct early in the session. A decision to place Proton Bank under the control of the Financial Stability Fund and growing speculation of a larger-than-expected haircut of the Greek debt, intensified pressure on bank stocks. However, a recovery in international markets helped the Greek market to a spectacular improvement late in the day.
