The Czech market closed higher on moderate volumes. CEZ and both banks, Komercni and Erste were the most actively traded listings. CEZ went above the CZK 1,260 level during the day, but international sellers appeared after weak UD macrodata and stock finished at CZK 1,250. Komercni banka reached the magic CZK 4,000 mark briefly and bounced back as strong international seller operated at the market. The star of the day became Erste Bank with almost 4% gain as followed trading in Vienna. Orco strengthened by 0.9% despite UBS cut its recommendation to Neutral form Buy.
