Widened bid/ask spreads following the adoption of the euro, combined with a shift in focus among the local investment community toward the upcoming parliamentary elections (the eighth in the past five years), provided fertile ground for speculative trading and largely shaped the outcome of the final session of the week on the Bulgarian equity market.
