Polish equity market closed higher on Friday. The broad market measure, the WIG Index, added 0.25%. Sector-wise, materials stocks (+2.53%) fared the best, while oil and gas sector names (-1.21%) tumbled the most.

The large-cap stocks' measure, the WIG30 Index, rose by 0.27%. Within the index components, coking coal producer JSW (WSE: JSW) led the gainers, jumping by 9.98% after the EU executive announced provisional anti-dumping duties on cold-rolled flat steel from China and Russia.
