Pakistan Equity Market: Weekly Review - Best Performance in 53 Weeks

  • Pakistan Equities (KSE100) rose by 5.53%WoW (2,126 pts) to close at 40,556 – driven by the USD6bn package announced by Saudi Arabia, expectations of support from other countries (UAE, China, Malaysia), aggressive buying by Mutual Funds and lower international oil prices. Average daily volume/value traded also improved by 51% and 54%WoW to 301mn shares and USD75.4mn, respectively.
  • The rout in global markets could not weaken the sentiments at the local bourse. By the time of writing this report, Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) has fallen 5.3% MTD with Europe (Euro Stoxx 50 -8.8%) and Asia (MSCI Asia Pac -11.4%) following suit – with bulk of these declines recorded during the outgoing week. Global investors remain concerned about higher interest rates, trade wars and weak corporate earnings (especially in tech stocks).
  • Coming back to domestic markets, Prime Minister’s visit to Saudi Arabia concluded in an economic package of USD6bn for Pakistan (USD3bn as one year cash deposit and USD3bn of rolling over deferred oil payment facility).
