The buying power weakened and the Bulgarian equity market shortly shifted into earlier defined mid-term downtrend as investors took the opportunity to go cash. The late hour trades with Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 34.40, +0.29%) disguised the 5.24% drop during the session, caused by aggressive sell-offs and minimized the losses of major indexes on Thursday. The negative bias from Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.70, -2.10%) and Sirma Group (SGH, BGN 1.02, -2.86%) reflected on SOFIX (852.07, - 0.27%) and the ...
This past week, Bulgarian stock market gave back some of the modest gains from the previous ones. The local Benchmark SOFIX lost 0.7% to settle at 853.51, as all the other major indexes closed down, ranging from 0.8% to 0.3%. For a second consecutive week the manufacturer of fertilizers and nitrogen compounds Neochim (NEOH, BGN 29.00, +11.5%) led the list of gainers in our list of selected securities, followed by Telematic Interactive (TIB, BGN 22.40, +3.7%) and Central Cooperative Bank (CCB, BG...
The enthusiasm on the Bulgarian market weakened on Wednesday and SOFIX (852.98, -0.48%) landed in red. Almost half of the index turnover came from Eurohold Bulgaria (EUBG, BGN 1.45, -2.03%), while the otherwise lack of investor’s interest activity left the turnover unimpressive. The daily gainers within SOFIX were Sirma Group Holding (SGH, BGN 1.05, +2.94%) and Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.70, +1.45%). First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 3.82, -2.55%), Eurohold Bulgaria and Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE,...

The Bulgarian equity market had a mixed showing on Wednesday, though ultimately the main indexes were up in range from 0.39% to 0.74%. SOFIX (841.39, +0.40%) rebounded from its 200-day MA mainly supported by First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 3.66, +5.17%) recovery after the announcement of Q3 financial data, which couldn’t reach the previous year results for the same period on the other hand. BGREIT (211.42) was the exception, following the pull back of the real estate sector and settled 0.41% low...

When the BoJ raised rates in March, it had been 17 years since it had last done so, though the world was very different then. While the July rate hike was unlikely to move the economic needle, the question now is what else might follow the subsequent financial market maelstrom. Pelham Smithers discusses the outlook for Japan’s macro environment, what new fiscal policies the new PM might introduce, how the BoJ might react and the all-important trend in corporate earnings. This then leads us to...
