    Fears of an imminent war in Iraq undermined sentiment on the Athens Stock Exchange on Friday and led to massive liquidations of stocks pushing share prices to their lowest levels in five years.

    The general index plunged 2.15 percent to end at 1,689.59 points reversing a four-day advance, with turnover a low 70.1 million euros.

    All sector indices ended lower, with Holding, Insurance, Textile, Industrial and Metal suffering the heaviest percentage losses of the day (4.74 percent, 3.21 percent, 3.05 percent, 2.93 percent and 2.77 percent, respectively).

    The FTSE/ASE 20 index for blue chip and heavy traded stocks fell 2.16 percent, the FTSE/ASE MID 40 index ended 2.51 percent lower, the FTSE/ASE SmallCap 80 index dropped 2.71 percent and the wider FTSE/ASE 140 index fell 2.27 percent.

    Broadly, decliners led advancers by 292 to 33 with another 31 issues unchanged.
