WSE panic subsides, stock exchange recording huge turnover
The new week on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (GPW) opened with continued declines, marking the third straight session of losses. Most of the year's earlier gains have evaporated, but high trading volumes suggest investors are still active, and negative sentiment is beginning to ease. The WIG20 dropped 5.35% early on but rebounded slightly by midday, falling only 2.33%.
Broader market index WIG also recovered some losses. Although market uncertainty, partly driven by U.S. tariffs, fuels volatility, many WIG20 companies plan to pay dividends—some with yields as high as 10%—which may attract buyers. Select stocks like PKO BP, Pepco, Budimex, and LPP even turned positive after midday, showing signs of market stabilization.
