BET rose 2.6%, BET-C went up 2.2% and BET-FI surged 5.2%. Unlike on Wednesday, when the opening was optimistic, but the enthusiasm faded in half an hour, Thursday started with small, but healthier appreciations, and once the investors saw the market can sustain the growth, they continued to buy. It is worth mentioning though that the European markets were also posting consistent gains. On the other hand, the large trading volume might indicate that the real buyers emerged. As always in good days, the SIFs totaled transactions of EUR 9.4 mn, over 40% of the total volume. SIF5 detached itself among the SIFs with over 4 mn shares changing hands (EUR 3.7 mn), while SIF3 registered the smallest volume (1.7 mn shares) but also the largest gain (6.6% dod).
