Turnover during the week averaged 180 million shares, while value traded was Rs9.7bln. Outflow during the week was USD 9.7 million compared to USD 2million last week. In 3 weeks the outflow has been USD 43 million. A weakening external account, and a ratcheting up of pressure by the US administration, on Pakistan, has hurt investor sentiment considerably. SHEL, PAEL, DFML, LUCK, AKZO, DGKC, ACPL were the worst performers for the week among actively traded stocks. Best performers were, PPL, UBL, POL, HMB, BAHL, ATRL, INDU, PSMC and EFERT. Cement stocks were the worst hit over capacity fears. We expect the market to start finding support at lower levels.

Worst performers during the week were PAEL, DFML, SSGC, EPCL, EFOODS and SEARL. The market has now reached levels at which dips should encourage selective buying by investors.

Turnover was on the lower side at 167 million shares, while value traded was Rs 8.8bln. We believe that, disqualification of the Prime Minister, has buttressed the continuation of the current democratic dispensation. Coupled with this, values have opened up with stocks trading below historic PE multiples. External account weakness and capital outflows, have cost the index 10000 points, from its peak of 53000 in May. In addition to this corporate earnings haven't given cause for a lot of excitement The market has lost 4673 points since the start of the year. This is almost 10%. Todays outflow was USD3.2mln.  |
