The first half of trading on the Warsaw market was a clear direction down. After a drop in the first hour of the session the market consolidated for the next 90 minutes, indicating better balance. Another piece of trading, however, brought a decline to new lows of the session and the loss of the main market index at the level of 1 percent. Thus our market, which in the first half of August was characterized by the relative strength, today is at the forefront of downward moving parquets. It is also worth to note that the observed declines are not the work of blue chips only but also apply to the broad market, as confirmed by the behavior of the mWIG40 and the sWIG80 indices.

At the halfway point of the session the WIG20 index was at the level of 1,826 points (-1,12%), with the turnover of PLN 285 mln.
