In the Market
Market Hit Fresh Slack ahead of Uncertainties!
The stock market followed its Tuesday down-tick with a new surge that kept the key indices down. The TEDPIX lost 0.07% while the weighted average (-0.32%) under-performed ahead of reluctant participants’ sentiment.
With the market believing that required supports have not been in place from the regulator, equity indices were free to continue their fall to new lows. The weighted average index spent the day near its flat line, suggesting the small cap rally may be running out of steam.
Auto sector began the trading day in the green with most maintained that posture into the close while Oil products recorded wide losses.
More than 54 mn shares of “IKCO1” changed hands today made the closing at IRR 2,906 (+4.23%). IKCO investment dev. Ended the day in a buy queue of nearly 1 mn. “CHAR1” and “NMOH1” followed the trade with much lower volume. With rumors of IKCO’s 33% “Parsian” bank block sale getting real, it seems the sector’s giant is about to refuel the trades again and recapture the market leadership flag.
Despite the recent oil price hikes, Oil products industry received no measure of support on top of being on the resistance edge technically. “PNES1” stamped 37.55 negative points solely on the index to be an ensign for the sector. Tehran Oil refinery stock traded for more than 4 mn shares and the closing was at IRR 3,088 (-1.81%). Sepahan Oil was the sole ticker compensated for the sector a little with only 308,000 traded shares.
Finally, metals spent the day jockeying for position. The top-weighted “FOLD1” spiked at the start thanks to gains in global steel prices. Near 25 mn shares of Isfahan Mubaraka Steel traded today on +1.5%. Some other smaller caps also took part in the rally, sending the Index higher by 0.78%. National Copper Industries ended the day on the board null with an amazing trading volume of almost 104 mn.
