The BUX rose during Monday's European midday trading, reaching 144,455.1 points around noon on November 9, 2026. Based on the reported Friday close of 143,453.78 points, the index was up 1,001.32 points, or 0.70%. The calculation uses the close of the last completed Budapest trading session as the comparison base.
The intraday level and constituent performance were reported by T?zsdefórum. The article described trading as mixed but active and said market turnover had reached HUF 6.8 billion by noon.
OTP and Richter Provide Support
Among the leading shares, OTP was quoted at HUF 41,960, up 1.75%, while Richter rose 0.54% to HUF 12,940. MOL slipped 0.04% to HUF 4,814, and Magyar Telekom declined 0.07% to HUF 2,900. The combination left the index higher despite a mixed performance among the largest constituents.
The BUX opened at 143,451.53 points, just 2.25 points below Friday's close, before moving higher during the morning. The midday reading therefore reflected a gain of 1,003.57 points from the opening level, according to the same report.
Technical Levels Remain Close
In a market assessment published at 12:25 Berlin time, Erste Market described the index as directionless over recent weeks and pointed to the 20-day moving average as a potential resistance level. Its listed initial support was 143,630 points, with a second support at 141,479 points. Initial resistance stood at 144,583 points, followed by 146,773 points.
The BUX's official profile at the Budapest Stock Exchange describes the index as a continuously calculated, free-float-adjusted benchmark of major Budapest-listed shares, calculated in Hungarian forint. Monday's midday advance thus placed the index near the first technical resistance identified by Erste Market, while the session remained unfinished.
