ISEQ continues climb for third day

THE Irish market stayed in positive territory for the third successive day posting a gain of 31.30 points on the day to close at 5972.48.

Again the financial sector was the main catalyst for the jump in market sentiment.

Recent news of AIB’s polish arm Bank Zachodni doubling its Q3 profits buoyed the heavyweight to a year high close of €14.28, strengthening 17c.
