The crisis in the crown keeps the leading index of the Vienna Stock Exchange firmly in check. After nine months, the annual performance of the ATX is still clearly negative. The Vienna Stock Exchange announced on Friday. On September 30, the ATX remained at minus 33.83 percent since the beginning of the year (at 2,108.75 points). One of the reasons for the clearest negative on the Vienna Stock Exchange in an international comparison is the distribution of the industry with a heavy emphasis on finance, oil and steel.
45% of the ATX companies are assigned to finance, 29% to basic industry and 12% to industrial goods and services, which depend to a great extent on the evolution of the prices of raw materials. According to the Vienna Stock Exchange, the remaining 14 percent is attributable to the utilities, technology and telecommunications sectors, as well as consumer goods.
Meanwhile, the trading volume increased. At the end of September it was 52,000 million euros or 10.46 percent more than in the same period of the previous year. The average monthly turnover was 5,770 million euros. The shares with the highest business volume during the year were Erste Group Bank with 9.10 billion euros, followed by OMV with 7.10 billion euros and Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI) with 4.29 billion euros.
