The Athens Stock Exchange (ATHEX) has reached a new 17-year high, with the General Index climbing to 2,551.78 points at the market opening on July 6, 2026, reflecting an increase of 0.57%. This sustained positive momentum in the market is partly attributed to the introduction of approximately 15.5 million new shares from GEK Terna, following a recent capital increase of €650 million. JP Morgan has upgraded Greece to an outperform rating, which has further bolstered investor confidence.
Trading activity was reported at €17.65 million shortly after the market opened, indicating a healthy interest among buyers. The upward trend comes amid minimal fluctuations in major European indices, which suggests that the Greek market is performing strongly relative to its regional counterparts. Notably, in the days leading up to this latest peak, the General Index had been regularly sustaining levels above 2,500 points, showcasing a robust recovery in the Greek market after years of lower performance.
