Lower oil, bond yields, indices such as the VIX/CBOE, higher futures with the S&P500 from 7,451 points.

At 15.34 (0.93%) the share of National Bank, at 9.032 (0.47%) of Piraeus, with the share of Metlen Energy & Metals third in the relevant ranking.
Up to 42.14 euros the orders, after yesterday's spectacular plus in London/LSE with a "close" at the day's high of 42.20 euros. The rise was attributed to the activation of management's buy back program. Followed by Alpha Bank at 3.995 (0.11%), Eurobank at 4.176 (0.43%).
