May 5, 2020 (MLN): In line with the global markets, domestic equities on Tuesday took a turnaround from Monday when the surge in the cases of Covid-19 in the country triggered selling and closed the today’s session on a greener note by gaining 76 points to reach 33,992 points level.
The index remained positive throughout the session today led by E&Ps due to sharp recovery in international oil prices.
Moreover, Government has deferred book building of Pakistan Energy Sukuk-II for 15 days likely due to expectation of interest rate cut in May-20 MPS. This delay in Sukuk may have limited impact on energy stocks while it can hurt investor sentiment for Islamic Banks (MEBL and BIPL) due to diminishing spreads, a report by Ismail Iqbal Securities stated.
