PX index and current value
The PX index reached its historically highest values in 2007. But this was followed by a sharp drop as a result of the global economic crisis. The decline due to the coronavirus shock in March 2020 was similarly dramatic. Even thanks to the extremely loose policy of central banks, the domestic stock market quickly erased its losses at the time.
Prague Stock Exchange: summary of the last trading day
Today, the Prague Stock Exchange broke a streak of six consecutive declines. The PX index strengthened by 0.04 percent to 1316.8 points. At least a moderate growth was mainly helped by the strengthening of the shares of the Erste banking group. The securities of the ČEZ energy group mainly had the opposite effect on the index. This follows from data on the stock exchange website.
Shares of the semi-state energy group ČEZ today, as on Thursday, faced nervousness related to the draft law on the transformation of companies, which may make it easier for the government to push through the division of the company. “During the day, the shares fell well below the level of CZK 1,000, when they traded at the lowest with an almost six percent loss at the level of CZK 981,” described the morning’s development, broker Vladimír Vávra from Wood & Company. In the afternoon, however, CEZ’s issue stabilized and closed trading with a loss of 1.83 percent at the level of CZK 1,022 per share. On Thursday, ČEZ lost eight percent and closed with a price of 1,041 crowns.
Today, Komerční banka and the securities of the pharmaceutical chain Pilulka Lékárny were among the losers. Komerční banka shares fell by 0.53 percent to 652.50 crowns. The issue of Piluka Lékárna wrote off 3.16 percent, but its influence on the index was small due to the low volume of sales.
