The BUX closed on October 15 at 144,455 points, up 969 points or 0.7 percent, as blue-chip gains outweighed mixed international signals. The BUX gained 0.7 percent despite selling in US technology stocks, which unsettled international markets, Economx reported.

Mol led the main stocks with a 1.5 percent advance. OTP rose 0.4 percent, Richter added 1.0 percent and Magyar Telekom gained 0.2 percent, while all four major blue chips finished higher, Portfolio reported.

Why did the BUX rise despite weak international cues?

Equilor senior analyst Varga Zoltan said US technology selling created uncertainty in international markets. The effect was weaker in Europe, helping the BUX finish higher, Economx reported.
