The Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) benchmark movement was bullish and crossed the psychological level of 18,000 points with average daily volume of 309mn shares. Volumes are largely tilted towards low cap high net worth stocks. Stock specific news from time to time hit the market, which continues to boost investor confidence and sentiment. KSE – 100 index closed at 18,074.27 points by gaining 277.05 points or 1.66 percent, while KSE – 30 index closed at 14,814.07 points by gaining 251.28 points or 1.73 percent, despite the prevailing political and law & order situation in the country.
Strong textile sector exports data, record earnings announcements, current account surplus for July to January 2013, expected hike in Karachi Electric Supply Company power tariff easing circular debt concerns in energy sector and hopes for OGDC gas sales agreement with fertilizer companies affected the sentiments of the investors during the outgoing week.
According to analysts, the current Bull Run is based on pre result season or in anticipation of general elections, and it will continue in next week also. If election schedule is announced next week, it will further boost the market. Majority of the investors are foreseeing better time ahead of elections which justify the current buying euphoria. They believe bull is likely to remain active in the upcoming days but prudency suggests investors need to remain cautious and keep valuable stocks in their baskets. Modalities are likely to be settled soon as investors in anticipation of greater production and sales volume pushed the stock upwards.
