Wiener Börse - International Index Comparison: ATX Clearly In The Lead

The performance of stock markets was generally good near the end of the year. Only the Dow Jones and the Hungarian BUX lost some of their steam. While the ATX broke another record, the other indices managed to regain lost ground even though their performance was negative - and for some even very steeply negative.
