Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE-100) Forecast for the week of 11-15, May 2009

Technical Outlook:
By: Khalid Saifuddin
May, 10th, 2009 Sunday: 5:00 AM
Last week market closed at break-even point, technically the candle formation and the patterns indicating a breakout, which is an indication of reversal of the previous trend.
Since previous trend was bearish, now I am looking at the bullish trend, well that’s true it is still early to say bullish as we got couple of issues which is not clearly resolved.
The exhausted sellers also support the trend reversal, I am not worried of decreasing volume and foreign investor’s positions; I also believe Market will not take any pressure of Taliban and the operation against extremist.
Market is only concern to current development on President’s US visit, and investors are waiting for updated US policy for Pakistan, we are also having good news regarding the 12th may strike. As per my experience Friday behavior was mostly because of the fear of 12th may and as it was last trading day, that’s why most of the traders try to offload their positions. The volumes were squeezed because the institutions were sitting out of the ground and local investors were shy of the situation. For me the upcoming big event for the market will be Budget.
We will see the great participation of local investors this week.
Stay away from rumors and I will not recommend any short this time, I encourage investors for timely buy, add positions on all major supports.
Good prospects for refineries, Cement, Bank and Funds

Market Technically:

Market Bullish zone for the week can be 7180 to 7527
Market must close around 7150 on Monday to remain bullish
As we the strike call is taken off so we can add more points to the market

ISLAMABAD: World Bank (WB) warned Pakistan's exports are likely to continue to fall sharply in 2009, which will translate into a decline in Pakistan's export growth.

Budget to be placed on 4 pillars to bail economy out of crisis: ISLAMABAD: The forthcoming federal budget 2009-10 would be based on four pillars aimed at reducing macroeconomic imbalance, improving equity and efficiency of public finances, enhancing competitiveness of economy and improving social safety nets, official sources told Daily Times on Friday.
According to a World Bank analysis, Pakistan's macroeconomic imbalances are rooted in the sharp rise in international prices of oil and food in 2007-08, combined with policy inaction and internal political turmoil. To avoid a balance of payments crisis and default on foreign debt payments, the authorities developed the stabilisation programme, which was supported by the IMF through a 23-month Stand-By Arrangement (SBA) in November 2008. The programme includes a medium-term macroeconomic framework with fiscal and monetary tightening to bring down inflation and reduce the external current account deficit to sustainable levels. At the first quarterly review of the SBA in February 2009, the stabilisation programme remained on track.
