ATHEX: Cheap drop for stocks at Athinon Ave
A low-cost decline at the Greek bourse on Monday led the benchmark to a new month-low, as the economy has joined the state and most of society in worrying about a fourth wave of the pandemic. Traders appear increasingly reluctant to commit themselves to the local market the way this summer is evolving.

The banks index shrank 1.37%, as National conceded 2.98%, Piraeus dropped 2.97% and Alpha fell 1.58%, while Eurobank advanced 0.45%.
Aegean Airlines parted with 4%, Athens Water (EYDAP) shied 2.86%, Mytilineos gave up 2.37% and Terna Energy shrank 1.96%. Sarantis collected 1.59% and Coca-Cola HBC improved 0.45%
