Day’s most heavily traded Piramal Glass closed down at SLRs.11.90 posting over SLRs.90mn in turnover.

Total turnover amounted to SLRs.2.3bn to which the largest contribution of SLRs.656mn was made by JKH which closed down SLRs.7.20 at 275.40 with more than 2.3mn shares traded.

The market that was oversold changed direction on Thursday with retail punters grabbing shares of fundamentally strong counters at absolute bargains. ASPI and MPI gained 40.47 points and 31.90 points respectively while total turnover reached SLRs.1.7bn. Lankem development which announced a 15 for 1 rights issue at SLRs.25.00 each closed up SLRs.16.40 (34.8%) at 63.50 being day’s top gainer posting the single largest turnover. Day’s most heavily traded (7.3mn shares) P C House made a significant contribution to turnover while the share closed up 80 cents at SLRs.18.50.
On Friday both ASPI and MPI declined by 70.90 points and 57.08 points respectively and sluggish market conditions were witnessed with day’s total turnover limited to SLRs.951mn, dropping below the SLRs.1bn mark for the first time in 2011. Approximately 2.8mn shares of York Arcade actively traded during the day between SLRs.37.50 and 44.70 posting day’s largest turnover and closed up 11.3% at SLRs.40.30.
Despite the slight rise in inflation the central bank kept policy rates unchanged and the Treasury Bill yields remained low at the last auction. Inflation is expected to ease when food supplies start coming from areas affected by recent floods. Hence investors should not have any fear regarding the possibility of any immediate increase in interest rates.
According to technical analysis ASPI is heading towards the oversold region, while the MPI is already oversold. Thus this is an ideal time for investors to accumulate fundamentally strong shares as the market is expected to surge with excess liquidity tied up in the recent Initial Public Offer being released back to the market in the coming week.
