The BUX underperformed compared to Western Europeʼs biggest indices. Frankfurtʼs DAX was down 1.01%, Londonʼs FTSE-100 lost 0.14% and the CAC-40 index in Paris was down 1.13% late in the day.
European stock indices dropped for a fifth straight trading session, with uncertainty about Greeceʼs future in the eurozone continuing to weigh on sentiment. Sales of German government bonds also dampened the mood of stock market investors.
The BUX was beaten by the Prague PX index, which lost 0.80% on the day and the WIG-20 in Warsaw which was down 0.48% on Monday.
