Although mWIG40 and sWIG80 indices continued decreases, the 20 share blue chips index ended up. WIG20 was supported by growing prices of commodities and better moods on Western European markets. The WSE opened up and the index quickly grew to its daily maximum of 3,377 points. Then it fell when it turned out that the demand was small. In the afternoon, however, KGHM copper producer jumped and WIG20 closed at its highest level today. Bioton insulin producer was doing very well while big banks rebounded after recent decreases.
Small companies are responsible for poor statistics – there were twice as
many companies ending down than up today. The volume of trade generated by both
groups of listed firms was similar, however. All shares worth over PLN 1.8bn
changed hands today.
