The all share volume reflected investors caution towards trading, as we anticipate the volumes to remain lackluster prior to any dominant trend. Despite the increase in government debt by 22%, the market’s sentiment remained positive as the investor showed interest towards trading Technology, Chemical, Food & Personal Care Products and Refinery. The volume leaders for today were TELE(42mln), GGL( 33mln), BYCO(22mln), TREET(21mln) and PAEL(17mln).
