In the Market

Stocks performed a disappointing show today in an impatient and boring session. TEDPIX (-0.41%) lost 680 points to continue its trend heading nowhere and closed at 166,235.02 level. This is while Iran Fara Bourse trading core came with fault today and stopped after the first 30 mins from the opening bell.

Today market was once again dominated by the highly demanded tickers of mid-weighted Auto (-0.01%) and Banking (+0.24%) sectors as the day trades rushed to these industries in the absence of a proper market path. Big names of heavy weighted industries were staled as concerns over the global commodities markets situations grew. The chance of a deeper trade war between the US and China along with falling oil prices made the perfect recipe for today sell off.

Analysts believed that domestic markets will stay in their current status for a while with a glance at the global economic situation waiting for the smallest signal to acquire a vivid path.
