BUX up in European rally
The Budapest Stock Exchangeʼs main BUX index finished up 1.59% at 23,065.93 on Monday after gaining 0.75% on Friday.
The BUX index was above the break-even mark during the entire day, closely tracking Western European markets as there were few domestic developments in the Hungarian economy.
European indexes were up mostly on stronger demand for shares of banks and carmakers and supported by rising international oil prices.
Investors were further reassured by European Central Bank President Mario Draghiʼs pledge at the European Parliament that the ECB "will not hesitate to act" if it sees risk to price stability.
OTP gained 2.74% to HUF 6,000 on turnover of HUF 3.69 bln from a HUF 6.92 bln session total.
