The Budapest Stock Exchange's share index, the BUX, closed at a new historic high of 104,286.14 points on Friday, up 1,013.36 points or 0.98%, according to the financial website Pénzcentrum quotes MTI. OTP also broke a record, reaching a new historic high of HUF 30,430.
The stock market turnover was HUF 26.2 billion, with the prices of leading shares changing mixed compared to the previous day's close. Gergely Muhi, chief analyst at Equilor Investment Ltd., told MTI that Thursday's trading day was a repeat of the previous day, with the stock market and OTP shares closing at new highs.
He was of the view that the end of the Russian-Ukrainian war is closer than previously thought, which is why capital has been "pouring" into sectors and countries that can benefit from peace, including Hungary. Poland also performed well, he added.
The Budapest market saw outstanding turnover, with OTP driving the BUX index and Richter also performing well. However, Mol's share price fell due to its less than favorable quarterly flash report published at dawn, he noted.
Mol fell by HUF 12, or 0.4%, to HUF 2,998, with a turnover of HUF 2.6 billion.
The price of OTP shares rose by HUF 460, or 1.53%, to HUF 30,430, with a turnover of HUF 20.4 billion.
Magyar Telekom's share price remained at HUF 1,818, with a turnover of HUF 797.4 million.
Richter shares rose by HUF 220, or 2.14%, to HUF 10,480, with a turnover of HUF 2.1 billion.
The BUMIX index of small and medium-sized shares closed at 9,161.41 points on Friday, down 6.13 points, or 0.07%. from Thursday's close.
