Athens Stock Exchange Rallies: General Index Gains Over 3%

A strong rebound was recorded today on the Athens Stock Exchange, with the General Index gaining over 3%. Markets reacted positively to Donald Trump's statements regarding a possible end to the conflict between the US and Iran, as well as the de-escalation of oil prices.

In Tuesday's session (10/3), the General Index rose by 3.53%, reaching 2,176.73 points. The recovery was led by banks and energy-intensive industries, with banks rising by over 5%. The Athens Avenue managed to recover from intraday losses, keeping the General Index above the psychological threshold of 2,100 points.
