The Athens Stock Exchange was apparently “bullish” over the prospects of European creditors signing off on the disbursement of a 2.8-billion-euro sub-tranche in bailout money this week to Greece, with the general index opening at the week’s first session up 0.78 percent.
The high-cap index was up 0.95 percent at 1,538.04 points, with trading volume reaching 2.57 million euros before noon, Athens time.
A EWG meeting is set for later in the day, where, according to most reports, a positive recommendation was expected.
