Other markets in Central Europe are also moving upwards, the server Patria Online said.

Tereza Spackova of Patria Direct said the Prague market suffers from low liquidity. The second half of the week could, however, see a revival after release of US economic data. They could set a further trend and move the markets which might either test new peaks or go down from their current relatively strong levels, Spackova said.
