The Athens Stock Exchange appears to be bouncing back and recovering, with the general price index increasing to 731.19 points at noon, up by 2.82%, with transactions valued at 54 million euros.

Wednesday was a particularly bad day in Athens, with the price index dropping by 9.24% to 711.13 points. The shares of DEI and OLP were particularly affected, as their privatizations have been put on hold.

The yield of a ten-year bond is about 10.87%, while that of the three-year bond has climbed to 18.6%. The negative climate appears to have been a response to some of the proclamations made by the new government in Athens.
