They will be called S&P/BYMA Energy and Utilities Index and S&P/BYMA Construction Index.This novelty complements the nine sectorial indexes that the Stock Exchange already has available, which represent other key segments of the local market such as Mass Consumption, Intermediate Goods, Financial Services, Telecommunications, among others.With this launch, the BYMA index family is consolidated as follows:
