Not only the Warsaw Stock Exchange, but also the Polish currency are showing exceptional strength this year. As Bankier.pl points out, the increases on the WSE coincided with the strengthening of the Polish zloty against the main world currencies. According to analysts, the current recovery on the stock markets is due to expectations for a trade agreement between the United States and China and the expected reduction of interest rates by the US Fed.

On Tuesday, the WIG20 index ended the day with an increase of 2.03%, reaching 3,041.52 points, which is the highest result of the current bull market. During the session, the index reached as much as 3,046.47 points. Although the historical record is still about 30% away, the current results certainly make investors optimistic.
WIG also recorded a historical peak of 113,578.40 points, ending the day with a result of 1.65%. in the positive. In turn, mWIG40 reached a record high of 8,222.20 points, closing slightly lower after increasing by 1%. Only sWIG80 ended the day in negative territory, losing 0.37%.
The reasons for the dynamic growth on the WSE can be found in international economic events. Last week, as Bankier.pl reminds, the annual meeting of members of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank took place in Washington, D.C., which gathered the leaders of global finance. In the context of Poland, the IMF maintained its GDP growth forecasts at 3.2%. in 2025 and 3.1 percent in 2026. Analysts from Pekao noted that “rather positive sentiment” towards Poland dominated during the meetings in the US, emphasizing good economic results and falling inflation.
During Tuesday's session on the WSE, as many as 19 WIG20 companies recorded increases. The largest increase in the value of shares was recorded by Budimex, whose price increased by 7.85%. after the publication of third quarter results. Although the results were in line with expectations, the company announced further revenue growth in 2026. Other outstanding companies included CCC (6.31%), Pepco (4.34%) and LPP (3.70%).
Banks also enjoyed great interest, including Pekao (2.9%), PKO (2.11%) and mBank, whose price increased by 4.96%, ending the day at PLN 1,045 per share. It was the first time in history that the price of mBank shares exceeded PLN 1,000. It is worth recalling that the previous record, amounting to exactly PLN 1,000, took place in August this year.

A significant event also took place on the NewConnect market – the debut of the Poznań-based company BASEIG, operating in the fashion-tech industry. The company, combining artificial intelligence, e-commerce and clothing production, saw a spectacular share price increase of 122.86%. during the first session. The dynamic demand for shares caused the suspension of trading already in the first hour of trading due to the large predominance of buy orders.
The turnover on the Warsaw Stock Exchange on Tuesday amounted to PLN 2.39 billion, of which PLN 2.08 billion was attributable to WIG20 companies. It is worth noting that WIG20 was the strongest main index in Europe that day, which further emphasizes the good condition of the Polish capital market.
