ISEQ slow to start

The holiday atmosphere seems to have descended on the market floor as trading took off to a slow start heading into the weekend.

Most ISEQ-listed companies recorded little activity this morning. The financial heavyweights inched up or down in modest gains and losses. Anglo Irish Bank reported no change at €15.42. Bank of Ireland inched up 1c at €17.28, while AIB managed a 4c increase at €22.96.
