With a positive sign the session started in the European markets, similarly in the Greek stock market.
With a small premium the S&P500 futures in New York, at 25,812 (0.13%) the DAX in Frankfurt, at 8,542 (0.40%) the CAC40 and with the EuroStoxx Banks up 0.33% at 302.4 points, at Euronext Athens the longs started with a small advantage.
From 2,884 the first orders for the FTSE Banks Index, with sellers-buyers at close prices, in the range of 2,855-2,844 points, with a small lead for sellers in National Bank stock and buyers in Eurobank, Alpha Bank, Piraeus.
Almost at the start of the session, prearranged orders were executed in shares of ADMIE, National Bank, Motor Oil, with significant inflow of orders in titles of AKTOR, AVAX, EYDAP, etc., adding further interest for bets being played on index stocks and specifically mid caps.
Logical, according to a broker, to attempt a diffusion of liquidity to a broader part of the board, aiming to expand the "leverage hotspots", in the logic we noted in our pre-session commentary.
With the valuation of certain large caps at reasonable levels, it is natural to attempt to "open up" the market. It remains to be seen, of course, to what extent the effort will be followed by others, whether money flows will increase, with whatever that could mean for the future. Perhaps, a July with a focus on the "second gear"? We shall see, with the first indications so far encouraging.
Around 2,864 points for the FTSE Banks Index, around 6,470 for the FTSE25, with more buyers in blue chips of the index.
At 23.98 (1.14%) the share of PPC, now with a valuation of 14.325 billion surpassing National Bank by 24 million, climbing to third place on the podium. Relevant reference from early on in EKH. Morgan Stanley starts coverage, with a target towards 27 euros (December 2027)
At 60.50 (1.68%) the title of Coca Cola HBC, with a steady "tail" of orders from London, with Alexandra Gitsi since February 11 having hinted at what gives... wings to the Group's growth.

In the new map in the "waters" it was mentioned early on by Stelios Bouras, what is happening with Water Companies, mainly EYDAP but also EYATH, we referred to on Friday.
