The BUX was little changed around midday on Tuesday, November 10, as trading continued at the Budapest Stock Exchange. The index stood at 146,112.11 points around noon, according to T?zsdefórum.
Compared with Monday's closing level of 146,064.21 points, the benchmark was up 47.90 points, equivalent to 0.03 percent. The calculation uses the last completed Budapest trading session as the comparison base. The index had opened at 146,062.94 points, just below Monday's close, before reaching 146,407.78 points at 11:30 and subsequently giving back most of that advance.
Blue Chips Set the Intraday Tone
T?zsdefórum reported that OTP, Richter and MOL were trading higher around midday, while Magyar Telekom was lower. The report put the share-price moves at plus 0.21 percent for OTP, plus 0.85 percent for Richter, plus 0.17 percent for MOL and minus 0.07 percent for Magyar Telekom. Trading turnover in the equity market had reached 9.6 billion Hungarian forints by midday.
Earlier coverage by Pénzcentrum described a broadly firmer European opening after a strong US session and said falling oil prices were supporting sentiment. It also highlighted Richter's raised full-year outlook as a company-specific development, although that report covered the opening phase rather than the midday index level.
US Inflation Remains the Next Catalyst
Market attention was turning to the US October inflation report, scheduled for 14:30 Budapest time, according to Pénzcentrum. The report cited expectations for a 0.3 percent monthly increase in consumer prices and a 0.2 percent monthly increase in core inflation. Because the data were due after the reported midday BUX reading, their market impact was not yet reflected in that index snapshot.
The Budapest Stock Exchange describes the BUX as its official blue-chip index, calculated continuously from the prices of its constituent shares. The BSE's index description is available on the exchange website. Further coverage of the index is available on the BUX topic page.
