[03] Stock Market-Close

Stocks rose in light trade on the Athens Stock Exchange on Tuesday in the wake of a slump in the previous session that had driven prices down to their lowest level since early in May 1999.

Turnover remained thin, failing to signal the start of a new upward trend. The market needed to consolidate at current levels, accompanied by a rise in trade, analysts said.

The general index ended 0.86 percent higher at 3,763.59 points with turnover at 65.0 billion drachmas.
