Yesterdays turnover dropped extremely low, down from Rs. 184 million on
Friday to Rs. 86 million. Both indices also registered a drop, ASI at
2,239.18 losing 11.14 points (-0.50%) and MPI declining to 2512.73 with a
loss of 14.41 points (-0.57%).
A market analyst attributed the drop to the falling of Dialog and JKIF
stocks rather than the recent financial crisis in the USA. Investors seem
to be wary of investing at this moment due to uncertainities in the
situation in the country, he added.
