In the Market

The stock market waffled on today’s session amid concerns about the ending episode of FATF amendments and CFT convention which now is in hands of the Guardian Council. TEDPIX (+0.09%) experienced a turbulent day yet finally settled almost near its flat line. IFEX (-0.92%), on the other hand, continued its corrective phase yet with much slower pace today.

Mapna Group (MAPN, -12.30%) of the Engineering (-12.10%) was a notable laggard today as its financial reports tell different stories anytime the ticker is being halted. Conversely, with the rising prices of global crude amid the US-Iran tensions, most of the tickers listed on Oil Products (+2.19%)ended the day in good green, however, the demand pressure was somehow lifted towards the end.

In the coming week, there is a news or two that could have a massive influence on the capital market and other parallel ones like FX and Gold coins. The guardian council consent on the parliament ratification with regards to FATF related amendments and joining the CFT convention is the most crucial of those followed by the introduction of new ministers to fill the blanks of president Rouhani’s cabinet.
