Another red week ended today on BSE. Unlike last Friday when SOFIX closed up, today the blue chips settled at 820.36 points, or 3.34% down for the week.

Similarly to yesterday, the early morning optimism evaporated towards midday and decline followed.

BG40 wiped out 0.48% and closed at 204.13 points today. BGTR30 fell 2.36% to 543.61 points.

BGREIT was the only advancing index today, adding 0.16% to 81.08 points.

On a weekly basis, all indexes post losses. SOFIX plunged 3.91%, BGTR30 fell 4.14% and BGREIT dipped 0.94%.

The broad BG40 slipped 1.32%.

SOFIX is down by 18.74% so far this month and BG40 by 17.02%. BGREIT and BGTR30's monthly losses are of 4.74% and 16.92% respectively.

International news was not that important this week as it was last week. News agencies focused on the long debates held in Congress about the government's aid to the financial sector. Another bank announced bankruptcy, but this time it is a commercial bank.

It emerged today that Ireland is the second European country to slip into recession (after Denmark), and the first among those using the euro. Analyst warn that Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Spain may follow suit.

The changes in the structure of BSE's indexes became effective Tuesday. Corporate Commercial Bank and Monbat Jsc posted monthly financial results.

6 companies in BG40 closed higher. The top gainer is Odessos Ship Repair Yard, which surged some 9.3% to 216.09 leva.

Holding Roads is the second best performer, adding 5.12% to 15 leva. The holding joined the index on September 23.

Next is Billboard, which closed at 5.1 leva, or 4.29% up from 19 September.
