Lisbon's stock market finished the week with moderate gains, according to Jornal de Negócios. The PSI index closed Friday's session up 0.21%, with Banco Comercial Português (BCP) leading the day's advances, the outlet reported.
The trading day began on a positive note. RTP reported that the Lisbon exchange opened 0.12% higher, and Jornal de Negócios noted that BCP moved up more than 1% in early trading, reaching levels not seen since 2015. Investing.com Brasil also reported that Portuguese shares closed higher, with the PSI advancing 0.21%.
The session's direction was set from the start, with the opening gains carrying through to the close. BCP's early surge placed it at the front of the day's movers, a position it held as the market wrapped up the week.
The reports on Friday's session came from several outlets, including Jornal de Negócios, RTP, and Investing.com Brasil, all of which described gains for the Lisbon market. The day's coverage also included a separate weather forecast item from Rádio Regional, unrelated to market activity.
Investors will now look ahead to the coming week's trading sessions for any follow-through on Friday's gains, particularly in BCP shares, which ended the day at multi-year highs.
