The PX-50 index gained 1.50% to 426.07 yesterday, lagging behind the main European stock markets, which rose 3% on average. The stock of the day here was again Philip Morris CR: it traded at an intraday high of CZK 11.160, an 8-year high. Komercni traded well at the CZK 1,500 level and CEZ was taken up to CZK 89.50.
