Stocks extend overnight losses
KARACHI, Jan 31: The stock market on Tuesday resisted larger fall but there were no signs of revival of bull support as much of the activity remained confined to the low-priced shares.
A cash dividend plus bonus shares at the rate of 52.50 per cent and 50 per cent respectively (previous cash 200 per cent and bonus 50 percent)by urea giant Fauji Fertiliser was on
the lower side as compared to previous year but did not trigger hasty selling in its share.

The KES 100-share index, however, limited the daily fall to a modest total of 8.12 points as some of the leading base shares attracted modest support at the lower levels but ended well below the session’s high of 11,975.94 at 11,874.89.
The early run-up to the peak level was attributed to institutional and speculative support on some of the blue chip counters, having a big weightage in the benchmark index but late reaction was caused by profit-taking at the higher levels.
Analysts said foreign support was again shy while local investors were planning to resume covering purchases on some of the risk-free shares having potential of capital gains after the market is back on the rails.
“Some positive reports from the judicial and political front though has eased the current tension between the major state organs, investors are still in two minds about taking fresh positions,” they said.
But nobody could deny the fact that the market is in an oversold position owing to persistent decline and could react to its technical demand any session, they added.
Some of the leading shares, notably Attock Petroleum, Attock Refinery and National Refinery also came in for active support and limited the market fall.
Prominent gainers were led by Indus Dyeing and National Refinery, up by Rs14.40 and Rs6.13, while losers were led by Nestle Pakistan and Clariant Pakistan, off by Rs50.91 and 6.66 respectively.
Traded volume fell further to 60.176m shares from the previous 67m shares as losers held a lead over the gainers at 117 to 98, with 106 shares holding on to the last levels.
The active list was topped by JS & Co, firm by 27 paisa at Rs5.57 on 6m shares followed by Azgard Nine, steady by 24 paisa at Rs3.40 on 4m shares, Fauji Fertiliser, each by 13 paisa
at Rs186.95 on 3m shares.

D.G. Khan Cement, firm by 20 paisa at Rs23.19 also on 3m shares, Bank Alfalah, lower 16 paisa at Rs12.20 on 2m shares and Lotte Pakistan, easy by five paisa at 8.34 also on 2m shares.
They were followed by Pace Pakistan, firm by six paisa at Rs1.52 on 2m shares, Dewan Salman, lower 14 paisa at Rs1.29 also on 2m shares and Fatima Fertiliser, off 52 paisa at 21.94 on 2m shares.
FUTURE CONTRACTS: Fauji Fertiliser Bin Qasim led the list of actives, lower by 24 paisa at Rs46.43 on 0.968m shares followed by Engro Corporation, off Rs1.36 at Rs116.80 on 0.733m shares and Fauji Fertiliser, lower by 23 paisa at Rs188.30 on 0.692m shares. They were followed by Attock Refinery, up Rs3.01 at Rs121.49 on 0.560m shares and D.G. Khan Cement, firm by 16 paisa at Rs23.38 on 0.377m shares.
DEFAULTER COMPANIES: Most of the shares on this counter ended unchanged barring Climax Engineering, which was quoted higher by Re1 at Rs7.50 on 1,500 shares followed by Saritow Spinning, firm by five paisa at Rs1.55 on 3,525m shares.
But Service Fabrics led the list of most actives, up 15 paisa at Rs0.40 on 91,500 shares followed by Dost Steels, steady by eight paisa at Rs1.49 on 23,105 shares.

Bearish spell continues on stock market
KARACHI, Jan 30: The share market on Monday maintained its downward drift what the analysts called the extension of week-end sell-off in the absence of demand even at the falling prices on the blue chip counters.
The benchmark index shed another 77.21 points at 11,883.01 eating away most of the gains netted early last week, sending bearish signals among the prospective investors encouraged by the recent relief package announced by the finance minister.
Barring Fauji Fertiliser and some leading oil shares, which maintained their rising trend on stray follow-up support, all other leading base shares came in for renewed selling.
“Then what ails the market,” asks a leading analyst Ahsan Mehanti, “investors seems to be shy of going beyond certain calculated buying limits”.
There is a loud whispering that the credibility gap and political situation is behind the prevailing uncertainty and lack of support, notably from the foreign investors, he said.
“There are also fears among a section of investors that it may be a trap to net in those who may venture to opt for money laundering,” he said commenting on the blanket exemption given to moneyed people.
But analyst Faisal Abbas Rajabali thinks the political uncertainty may be behind the investor reluctance to go for stocks that sill ensure fair capital gains.
He said bullish sparkles here and there initiated by higher corporate earnings, however, failed to sustain the run-up as city law and order situation also took its toll amid reports of target killings.
“Investors seemed to be just marking time after indulging in alternate bouts of buying selling on small margin of profits,” said analyst Samar Iqbal and hoped that some of them would be back in the arena in due course.
No one could deny the fact that the state of the economy, according to central bank, is not that encouraging and the annual growth rate may not be achieved. The package of incentives announced by the finance minister last week for the stock investors should have brought in its fold even the casual investors for short-term capital gains.
On the corporate front, a five per cent cash dividend by Lotte Pakistan seemed to have fallen below market expectations as was reflected by post-dividend selling.
Prominent gainers were led by Mitchell`s Fruit and PSO, up by Rs4.15 and Rs3.04, while top losers included Unilever Foods and Bata Pakistan, off by Rs85.75 and Rs33.25.
Traded volume fell to 67.056m shares from the weekend`s 76m shares as losers topped gainers at 169 to 60, with 74 shares holding onto the last levels.
The active list was topped by Fauji Fertiliser on reports of higher earnings, up 91 paisa at Rs187.08 on 13m shares followed by JS & Co, lower 34 paisa at Rs5.30 on 7m shares, Fauji Fertiliser Bin Qasim, sharply lower by Rs1.82 at Rs46.36 on 5m shares, Engro Corporation, easy by 11 paisa at Rs117.13 on 4m shares, WorldCall Telecom, steady by 15 paisa at Rs1.33 also on 4m shares, Lotte Pakistan, lower 41 paisa at Rs8.39 on 4m shares and D.G. Khan Cement, easy 27 paisa at Rs22.99 on 3m shares.
They were followed by Bank Alfalah, steady by 13 paisa at Rs12.36 on 3m shares, National Bank, off 65 paisa at Rs43.45 on 2m shares and Engro Foods, firm by 23 paisa at Rs26.64 also on 2m shares. FUTURE CONTRACTS:
Fauji Fertiliser also led the list of actives on the forward counter on active support and was quoted higher by Rs1.24 at Rs188.53 on 2.202m shares followed by Fauji Fertiliser Bin Qasim, off Rs1.68 at Rs46.67 on 1.379m shares and Engro Corporation, easy 10 paisa at Rs118.16 on 1.295m shares.
They were followed by D.G. Khan Cement, easy 27 paisa at Rs23.22 on 0.849m shares and National Bank, off 70 paisa at Rs43.85 on 0.475m shares. DEFAULTER COMPANIES:
The active list on this counter was topped by Genertech Power, unchanged at Rs0.35 on 24,814 shares followed by Dost Steel, steady by two paisa at Rs1.34 on 21,770 shares and Shakarganj Foods, up 84 paisa at Rs6.39 on 1,000 shares. All others were also fractionally traded.
