October 7 (SeeNews) - The Bulgarian Stock Exchange blue-chip SOFIX index ended a five-day losing streak after gaining a slim 0.02% to 563.12 points on Monday.
The index closed higher largely due to a 4.44% increase in the share price of financial and insurance group Eurohold Bulgaria [BUL:4EH].
Earlier on Monday, Czech energy group CEZ told SeeNews that it has decided not to proceed with the divestment of its assets in Bulgaria if the local regulatory bodies block its 335 million euro deal with Eurohold.
The only other blue-chip gainer on Monday was Bulgarian Real Estate Fund REIT (BREF) [BUL:5BU].
The wider BGBX40 index, which tracks the 40 most traded shares on the Sofia bourse, edged down 0.03% to 111.50 points, while the BGTR30 index, in which companies with a free float of at least 10% have equal weight, slid 0.10% to 501.24 points.
The BGREIT index, which tracks the performance of real estate investment trusts, added 0.05% to 127.17 points.
Total regulated market trading turnover rose to 789,000 levs ($443,000/403,000 euro) on Monday from 515,000 levs in the preceding trading session.
