The Lisbon Stock Exchange defied the European trend this Wednesday, driven by the energy sector. While the main European stock exchanges were recording declines, the Portuguese index managed to stay in positive territory.
The gains were mainly driven by the energy sector, with Galp and EDP Renováveis (EDPR) each rising more than 1%. These two companies were among the main contributors to the positive performance of the Portuguese market.
The table of Lisbon-listed companies was divided, with eight companies in positive territory, seven in negative territory and only one still unchanged. This distribution reflects the lack of consensus among investors in the Portuguese market that day.
