WIG 20 finished October 15, 2026 at 4,208 points, up 1 point or 0.01 percent. A global semiconductor selloff drove a morning decline of more than 1 percent before buyers recovered the loss, Parkiet reported.
Dino was the strongest blue-chip stock, rising 2.8 percent. Orlen and KGHM were the main drags, falling 1.2 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively, Bankier reported.
Why did WIG 20 recover after the morning selloff?
The index opened under pressure as global technology shares fell sharply. The decline eased through the session, and WIG 20 returned to the 4,200-point area. Parkiet linked the session's early weakness to losses on Wall Street and in Asian markets, including a 7.57 percent drop in South Korea's KOSPI and a 4.90 percent fall in Japan's Nikkei.
Poland's core inflation slowed to 3.1 percent year over year in September from 3.3 percent in August. Monthly core inflation was 0.0 percent, down from 0.3 percent, DlaHandlu reported.
WIG 20 rotation favors Dino over resources
Consumer stocks offset weakness in commodities and energy. Dino extended a seven-session advance that had reached 10 percent before Thursday. Orlen weakened after news that it would receive at least four Saudi oil cargoes in October, while KGHM fell for a third consecutive session as copper prices declined.
Eleven WIG 20 members fell and nine rose. Trading turnover reached PLN 2.67 billion across the market, including more than PLN 2.16 billion in the 20-stock basket, Parkiet reported.
