A bit of calm returned to Warsaw’s stock exchange at the beginning of the week, with indexes moving slightly up during today’s opening. In doing so, it resisted downward pressure from a negative report expected out this week on Poland’s GDP growth prospects for the second quarter of the year. The calm continues from Friday afternoon, when global markets began rising, despite the disturbing announcement of Ben Bernanke from the US Fed, which looks to be playing down the chances of renewed economic stimulus.
In Warsaw, the WIG index rose 0.13 percent on Monday morning, to 41629.19 points. Twenty of the index’s most liquid businesses, tracked by the WIG20 index, climbed 0.15 percent, reaching 2261.63 points. Telekomunikacja Polska and GTC have been driving the indexes up today, with both rising 1.6 percent by noon.
