MesoQuill Research
Market selloff continued with more than 65% of traded equities decreasing in value while only 27% of the equities increased in value which put a serious dent in Index values with the benchmark index some way off from the 150k mark which it only kept for one day. Like the first two days of the week the markets started positively but selling pressure dominated by mid day forcing values down.
The skewness of the data shows that losses were concentrated higher with gains having a few outsized outliers that kept index values from deteriorating further.
Volume increased marginally in the large cap segment and in the KSE100 constituents but jumped up by a fair margin in the broad market segment showing the concentration of trading in the mid cap segment. Most of the sectors oscillated around origin with Real Estate and Utilities increasing by margin with PACE doing well in the RE sector.
