Financial investment companies jump 4%
The FIC sector (BSE:SIF) posted a hefty 4% gain today, on big appetite on the buy side ahead of Government's decision to set a higher cap on equity holdings in financial investment companies.
The liquidity at the Bucharest Stock Exchange increased to 22.47 million lei (€5.51 million), while bond transactions totaled 16.31 million lei.
“What holds the market up is the equity holding limit at FICs, given the buying spree today. I think that the holding cap at FICs has been the main factor that disconnected the performance of the Romanian market from external equities. The US stock market suffered sharp drops but its impact over the local trading has been fairly limited”, said Mihai Muresian, trader at Intercapital Invest.
