What will shape the market tomorrow?
Trading activities at the equities market was mixed during the week, with 2 days of gains and 3 days of declines, thus leading to a negative WoW performance (-0.29%) as losses recorded outweighed gains. However, we maintain that prices are still at attractive points in some fundamentally sound stocks trading at significant discounts to their intrinsic value, for medium to long term players. We have observed mixed trading sessions recently, and expect no deviation from this trading patter next week.
