According to the Zan Securities Chief Executive Officer Raphael Masumbuko, “August has been a fruitful month in the capital markets in terms of value appreciation for both equity and debt market, the general theme for 2022 has so far been market resilience, asset prices have largely been insulated from sharp rise in commodity price increases”
According to Masumbuko, a rally in prices in the first half of 2022 helped the domestic TSI Index return a +9.8% year-to-date, dwarfing the +2.5% posted in 2021.
“We expect strong valuations from the Banking sector as interest rates edge higher, albeit investors would be cautious with companies overheads exposed to higher commodity prices. However, we might see plateaued growth as we head towards the end of quarter 3, particularly as the central bank deploys a more restrictive monetary policy cautioning against inflationary risk,” he added
