Market Overview
As it was expected the sale pressure increased today. Although most of the shares are along their real value, new buying is not recommended before the next nuclear deadline and especially in current week before the upcoming national holiday in Iran. While, holding the current portfolio could be safe. The political risk is currently at high levels. It should be noted that no significant budget reports from companies are expected for the next year. During the past few days the retail trades volume has increased which could be the outcome of the purchases of investors who are hopeful about the result of nuclear negotiations and the investors who take the opportunities on positive trends to sale.
