"The session ended without significant changes in traditionally thin volumes," Sofia-based Bulbrokers said in a daily note.
The blue-chip SOFIX index, which comprises the 20 most liquid shares on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE), edged down 0.04% to 354.82 points and the broader BG40 index, which tracks the 40 most traded shares on the bourse, added 0.09% to 101.22 points.
Turnover, excluding block and other pre-agreed deals, fell to 754,000 levs ($539,000/385,000 euro) from 810,000 levs on Monday.
The most liquid company on Tuesday was blue-chip industrial conglomerate Chimimport, Bulbrokers said. Its stock sagged 1.53% to 2.12 levs in a volume of almost 57,000 shares.
Among the most traded companies was also real estate investment trust Prime Property, which skidded 1.51% to 0.65 levs in a volume of over 325,000 shares. Prime Property said earlier on Tuesday that it would skip 2008 dividend payment.
The BG-REIT index, tracking the performance of real estate investment trusts, rose 0.38% to 39.86 points and the bourse's BG TotalReturn30 index, in which companies with a free float of at least 10% have equal weight, gained 0.30% to 267.12 points.
