The calendar arrival of spring did not result in further flourishing of trading on the Zagreb Stock Exchange. According to the monthly report published on Friday, the stock turnover within the order book amounted to only 18.1 million euros, which is even 45 percent less than the previous month. On an annual basis, the turnover is practically the same. If we add the total turnover of 26.6 million euros, which decreased by 46 percent compared to March, it can be said that April somewhat halted the positive sentiment that prevailed in previous months.
On an annual basis, total turnover is higher by about three million euros. As stated in the report, the only positive shift was achieved by exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which saw a 24 percent increase in trading. ETFs recorded a turnover of 2.6 million euros. A growth in trading was also recorded with treasury bills, which saw a turnover of 330,000 euros, marking a jump of 48 percent. Similar statistics apply in the category of market capitalization: regarding stocks, those from the Official Market strengthened by 0.2 percent (7.74 billion euros), bonds by 0.4 percent (18 billion euros), ETFs by 13.77 percent (37.9 million euros), and treasury bills by 69.32 percent (1.8 billion euros).
Stock indices achieved relatively small shifts, but mostly in the negative. The most pronounced correction was seen in CROBEXtourist (-3.33 percent), while the strongest growth was recorded in the CROBEXindustry index (3.18 percent).
