Lisbon, Aug. 6, 2024 (Lusa) - The Lisbon stock market closed down on Tuesday, with the PSI index falling 0.19% to 6,455.97 points, on a day when the main European bourses ended divided between moderate losses and slight gains.

Of the 16 listed companies that make up the PSI, 10 were down, three were up and three were unchanged.

Mota-Engil fell the most (-2.57% to €3.26) and Galp led the risers (0.89% to €18.75).

REN (0.64% to €2.35) and BCP (0.14% to €0.36) were also among the risers.

After the panic that marked the previous stock market session, due to fears of recession in the United States, there was still some instability in Europe today.

On the New York stock exchange, the concern seems to have dissipated and the three main indices were still up at the mid-point of the session.

The Dow Jones was up 1.20%, the S&P 500 was up 1.29% and the Nasdaq was up 1.79%.
