What will shape the market tomorrow?
Although the equities market declined marginally by 2bps, there were improvements from the previous performance as indicated by positive market breadth and three of the five major sectors closing in the green. Having lost in three consecutive sessions so far this week, we expect to see position taking in some of the counters that have diminished in recent sessions.
