The huge daily price fluctuations of SOFIX 429.60 (-0.05%) members did not change the index on Thursday.

First Investment Bank (5F4, BGN 2.22, +1.83%) and Holding Varna (5V2, BGN 39.60, +1.54%) supported the main index while 12 index members finished the day on the negative territory.

The daily turnover within the main index remained low as 1/3 of its members were not traded throughout the session.

Sopharma (3JR, BGN 2.76, -3.16%) dropped the most among SOFIX (447.45, -0.43%) members as Q1’20 net profit of the company fell by 32.7%.

Odessos (5ODE, BGN 73.00, -3.95%) became top loser in the last trading session for the week, but the effect came from small trades in widened Bid/Ask spread. On the ...

Slim volume and wide bid/ask spreads fixed SOFIX at 578.65 (+0.11%). Selling pressure on Albena (6AB, BGN 41.80, -2.79%) and Sirma Group (SKK, BGN 0.715, -1.38%) weighed on the main index, but moderate increase of Doverie (5DOV, BGN 3.38, +1.2%) and Industrial Holding Bulgaria (4ID, BGN 1.05, +0.96%) offset the negative impact. Absence of news keeps institutional investors away from trading and the daily volume remained below the average one YTD.
