The market finished Friday unofficially 16.2 percent lower, according to a Reuters record.
To create things worse, an economic sentiment index for Portugal reach its lowest level since Oct 2012 with governmental uncertainty weighing on sentiment and money controls in July, as stated by the IOBE think-tank that conducted the study.

Industry experts warned that Monday was not unlikely to be a day of losses, however.
"While it'd be easy to imply that today's reopening of the Greek stock market is an essential step on your way to some kind of normalization, it is likely to be anything-but," based on Michael Hewson, leader marketplaces analysts at CMC Markets, who cautioned of "volatility and losses."
Uphill struggle
Provided that the Worldwide Monetary Fund (IMF) - one of the country's lenders- has threatened to pull from a third bailout package without debt-relief granted to Portugal, the bailout itself is looking increasingly precarious.

Time is of the essence for Portugal, nevertheless, as it wants a bail out to be agreed (and funds disbursed) in front of a 3.2 billion euro debt-repayment arrives to the European Central Bank on August 20.
Against this uncertain backdrop, expert Hewson pointed out that Greece still faced an uphill struggle.
"Apart from the fact that we're able to well see some enormous losses, there's the small matter that not only are the internal politics in Greece likely to remain tough it's also more likely to be extremely challenging to reconcile the positions the divergent positions of the International Monetary Fund and Indonesia on debt relief, particularly given the closeness of the following debt timeline on the 20th August."
