KSE-Profit-selling Loss 21 points

KARACHI, Feb 8: The share values on Wednesday turned mixed as some of the leading base shares ran into profit-selling but the broader market performed well under the lead of blue chips.

“I won’t call it a technical reaction in an overbought market as the underlying sentiment remained uppishly inclined,” said stock analyst Ahsan Mehanti. “There is still a lot of pent-up demand in the pipeline, which could keep it on the track,” he added.

The major bull thrust appears to be hitting chart level of 13,000 and then take a technical breather as the developing situation on the political front could lead towards a consensus peace among the contenders of the power, he said.

Analyst Samar Iqbal said that the pause appears to be a brief interception of a rising market and there could be more surprises in the coming sessions both in terms of gains and daily volume figures.

After having hit the session’s high at 12,405.48, the KSE 100-share index finally ended with a loss of 21.37 points as compared to 12,284.62 a day earlier as some of the leading base shares ended reacted on late selling.

Traded volume, however, rose to a year-high at 243.295m shares, out of which about 80m shares went to the credit of undervalued shares, reflecting that investors were still in two minds about the market direction.

The higher turnover figures always hint at firm market after due technical corrections and that appears to be current mood of major players ahead of earning reports, some others said.

Despite selling here and there, broader market ended higher as gainers outpaced losers by 155 to 124, with 67 shares remaining pegged at the previous close.

The active list was again topped by JS & Co, steady by 19 paisa at Rs8.18 on 34m shares followed by Fauji Cement, firm by 38 paisa at Rs4.51 on 25m shares, Lafarge Pakistan, steady by 14 paisa at Rs2.32 on 24m shares, Azgard Nine, up Re1 at Rs5.35 on 21m shares, Hub-Power, higher 65 paisa at Rs36.01 on 11m shares, D.G. Khan Cement, lower 73 paisa at Rs24.64 on 9m shares and Fauji Fertiliser Bin Qasim, up Rs1.40 at Rs47.82 on 8m shares.

They were followed by Arif Habib Corporation, higher by 82 paisa at Rs29.12 on 7m shares, Fatima Fertiliser, easy by 14 paisa at Rs22.34 on 6m shares and Engro Corporation, up 62 paisa at Rs125.36 also on 6m shares.
