Official of the European Central Bank said the central bank has raised ELA to Greek banking system from EUR 85.9 billion to EUR 87.8 billion, driving a 9.84% surge in Greek stocks.

However, base metal markets remained range-bound due to cautious trading and the arrival of China’s Dragon Boat Festival.
