Some of the blue chips started correcting their recent strength (Zentiva), but some actually continued to gain further. CEZ added over 1% on international demand and a volume exceeding USD 48m. Erste gained following strong a quarterly report from its peer Raiffeisen International, as well as currency weakness versus the EUR. Komercni dropped almost 1% on domestic profit taking. Philip Morris was under selling pressure as people shifted funds away from the defensive high-yielding stock into other names.
