- The WIG 20 stood at 4,137 points at 13:06 Berlin time on November 6, down 1.71% from Thursday's close.

The WIG 20 was under pressure in Friday's European midday trading, standing at 4,137 points at 13:06 Berlin time on November 6, 2026. That put the Polish blue-chip index 1.71% below Thursday's close of 4,209.15 points, a comparison reported by ad hoc news. The quote and time were reported by Business Insider.
Global risk aversion reaches Warsaw
The decline followed a sharp sell-off in US technology shares on Thursday and weaker Asian markets on Friday. Business Insider reported losses of 6.4% for the Nasdaq 100 and 4.4% for the S&P 500, while Japan's Nikkei 225 and South Korea's KOSPI each fell about 6%. Hong Kong's Hang Seng declined 1.3%. The report linked the broader pressure to renewed concern that tighter scrutiny of artificial-intelligence companies could slow the sector's expansion.
Orlen weighs on the benchmark
Constituent-specific news added to the pressure. Strefa Inwestorow reported that Orlen was down 2.6% and Dino was also lower, while LPP and Budimex lost nearly 2% each and Allegro declined 1.2%. Orlen's third-quarter LIFO EBITDA came to PLN 14.78 billion, below the PLN 15.32 billion analyst expectation cited in the report. The company also indicated that 2026 capital expenditure could fall short of the previously planned PLN 36 billion.
Modivo provides a counterweight
Modivo was a notable exception among the large-cap stocks, rising 6.6% after publishing preliminary figures. The company estimated third-quarter fiscal 2026/27 EBITDA at PLN 372 million and adjusted EBITDA at PLN 450 million. Six WIG 20 constituents were reported higher, but only Modivo posted a gain above 0.7%. The broad pattern therefore remained defensive, with weakness concentrated in several heavily watched blue chips.
The Warsaw session was still open at the reported time, so the 4,137-point reading is an intraday level rather than an official close. The final direction will depend in part on whether global technology selling persists when US markets begin trading. Further WIG 20 coverage is available on the WIG 20 topic page.
