The stock index today fell by 0.37 percent, to a closing value of 1,752 points. The turnover on the regular market amounted to 79 million kuna, but most of that was achieved through trading in bonds and commercial papers.
The largest increase, albeit with relatively small volumes, was recorded by shares from the Agrokor system. The most liquid stock today was HUP Zagreb. This security was traded in a total amount of 6.6 million kuna with a price drop of 0.65 percent. HT had a turnover of 6.1 million kuna, and the price today fell by 2.34 percent, to a closing value of 206 kuna.
Atlantska plovidba continues its positive streak with today’s growth of 3.85 percent and a total turnover of 1.5 million kuna. Given the positive news from the sector (increase in the BDI index), such a development for our largest shipping company is not at all unexpected.
The Končar stock was traded in a total amount of 2.1 million kuna with a minimal price drop of 0.25 percent. Dalekovod collected 1.4 million kuna in turnover with a price drop of 0.62 percent, while the last “millionaire” of the day, Podravka from Koprivnica, recorded a drop of 1.89 percent. Some larger price movements occurred in companies from the Agrokor system – Ledo is up by 8.56 percent, Tisak by 9.34 percent, and Zvijezda by 4.17. However, these stocks were not heavily traded today, so it cannot be concluded that this is the beginning of an upward trend. Influenced by the unstable political situation in the Middle East, crude oil prices rose today. Whether this will have a stronger impact on global stock markets will be known in a few days.
