Pakistan Equity Market: Weekly Review - PSX Corridors Cheer Amnesty Scheme

  • After a nosedive last week, KSE100 Index took a breather and rose by 274pts (up 0.7%WoW) as investors expected ongoing Amnesty Scheme to beef up domestic liquidity.  This also concluded the fiscal year FY17-18 with the benchmark index declining 10% for the year, with E&P and Fertilizer sectors standing out as top contributors (returning 33% and 11%, respectively) while Cements and Refinery sectors were worst performers (returning -42% and -39%, respectively). 
  • Trading activity rose during the week with average daily traded volumes going up by 7%WoW to 182mn shares while the average traded value declined by 1%WoW to USD60mn.
  • In global markets, crude oil rallied by USD5.6WoW (up 8%WoW) to USD78.7 (Brent) post 1) positive developments emanating from OPEC meeting and 2) US President Donald Trump’s announcement to impose sanctions on countries importing Iranian oil. As per US State Department announcement, the Trump Administration could impose sanctions against governments that do not cut imports of Iranian oil to “zero” by Nov 4, 2018. The move came in as a surprise as countries were expecting waivers and a longer grace period before sanctions came into effect.
