Greek stocks have scored small gains in today, with the Athens bourse's banking share index out performing after steep losses this week.
The benchmark overall share index was up 0.6%, with the banks rising 3.5%.
The moves signalled further calming on the bourse, which saw the Greek banking index crash 63% on the first three days of the week, before bouncing back 17.8% yesterday.
Investors are worried about a needed recapitalisation of Greece's banks -- anything from €10 billion to €25 billion, according to the European Union. That would cut heavily into current shareholder value.
Greece is in negotiations with the EU and International Monetary Fund for as much as €86 billion in fresh loans to stave off financial ruin and economic collapse.
Questions about how easily that agreement will come have also been weighing on the bourse, which was closed for five weeks before Monday as part of capital controls to stop a flight of euros.
