The continued distress-sale of shares by the foreign portfolio investors and irresolution of debt issue at Karachi bourse between brokers and banks pushed market down to new low of four-year on Wednesday.
With another notable plunge of 121.80 points or 2.32 per cent in this session, the KSE 100-share Index depreciated to 5,136.48 points. The day closing level is the lowest one after September 28, 2004 closing of 5,128.13 points.
The parallel running junior 30-Index slashed 152.04 points or 3.08 per cent and concluded at 4,782.97 points.
Hasnain Asghar Ali at Aziz Fidahusein observed that although private and government sector funds did stay prominent buyers in various main board stocks many even succeeding in trading above lower locks, foreign downpour strengthened further as it joined hand with selling by local participants thus never allowing the buyers to resist the high tides, and the KSE benchmark was yet again pushed to deep-red. Analysts said that foreigners were offloading their holding for one reason or the other. They withdrew another over $8 million in this session only.
“Perhaps, overseas investors know what are the true vales of each stocks and they would indulge into buying from those pre-supposed levels or they are reshuffling their portfolios in accordance with the new stocks market orders,” commented a leading analyst.
He maintained that in the newly emerging era - post economic recession period or recovery phase - some tier two stocks would occupy the place of leading stocks in top of the actives list and vice-versa. This phenomenon is, at present, in the making and become visible when every thing would have been settled, he added.
The unresolved issue debt, which brokers owe to banks, is not allowing bulls to show their muscles. Otherwise, bulls are ready to overcome the crisis and waiting for the green signal, other analysts said. With the massive correction in international oil prices and decline in demand of other commodities as well at world level, the oil and food inflations have started easing down in the country. Amid the trade and current account deficits have also started reducing in the last couple of months. These are the good signals for the local economy and would encourage equity investors to stage come back once the local issue of debt at bourses are resolved, they added.
Ahsan Mehanti at Shahzad Chamdia Securities said besides massive foreign selling and debt issue, the rupee depreciation and turmoil in the international equity markets also discouraged investors to remain on the sidelines.

Bailouts and tangible stimulus may also help some, and the post-mortems on the economic conditions and decisions would continue for several decades. Is time to find viable solutions? However, businesses and banks still need bespoke turnaround survival strategies to reduce losses, improve organic and inorganic efficiency, increase revenue, gain sustainable competitive advantage, improve strategic positions, and outperform market competition. The results add real business values; create new business opportunities and jobs for investors who target niche, captive markets where consumer demand still continues to grow in double-digits annually to 2030. http://www.FixyaExperts.com
