KARACHI, Aug 1: The weekend recovery was further extended on the stock market on Monday as leading base shares came in for renewed short-covering at the lower levels followed by reports of higher corporate earning by some of the leading companies.
The 50 basis point cut in the discount rate by the central bank was welcomed by the investors on the perception that the rate of inflation would be contained around the current levels, some analysts said, while some others said the cut would boost investment in various sectors of the economy after the normalcy returns to the city”.
The benchmark index was quoted further higher by another 63.02 points at 12,253.39 as compared to previous 12,190.37 as leading base shares, notably Fauji Fertiliser, Pakistan Oilfields, D. G. Khan Cement and some others came in for active support and finished with extended gains.
But the turnover figure remained modest, heralding the advent of the holy month of Ramazan, traditionally billed as a month of low volumes as leading section of investors prays more and invest less, some dealers said.
Essentially, it was an anticipatory buying on those counters whose board meetings are due during the current and the next couple of weeks amid market talk of higher payouts both interim and final.
The notable feature was reports of revival of foreign demand, mostly on the oil and fertilizer sectors on the perception that they ensure handsome capital gains around the current level, some floor brokers said The entire trading pattern, however, reflected that status quo was being maintained by leading investors amid fears of law and order situation in the city owing to unabated target killings, they added.
