In a rather quiet trading session yesterday the Index PX-50 gained 0.55% to 399.8 points. CEZ corrected slightly, closing up 0.91% at CZK 72, and its intra-day high stood at CZK 73.80. Other stocks like Ceske radiokomunikace and Unipetrol did better volume than the usual leaders Cesky Telecom and Komercni banka. Ceske radio gained 1.12%, but most of its volume was generated by cross-trades. In Unipetrol, foreign sellers are still on the market, the stock closed up 0.23% and traded at CZK 30 level throughout the day. Some local demand for the stock was apparent. The market today will still await direction from which way the US market might go. Total volume reached USD 11.2 mil.
