The PX-50 index closed stagnant at 340.3 points on Friday. The session was quiet, with Ceska sporitelna and CEZ the most active stocks in terms of traded volume. Ceska sporitelna strengthened slightly to CZK 270, as there were a couple of foreign buyers on the market, with the selling flow originating from domestic retail brokers. CEZ continues to see strong foreign interest on both the buy and sell sides; volume was not as heavy in the title as on Thursday, though, with some 955,000 shares changing hands on Friday. Total market volume reached USD 8.25 mil. on Friday. For today, global markets will face weakness after yesterday’s military action in Afghanistan.
