Market analysts say the new month ushered in a slow market and expect overall activities in the domestic bourse to sustain a bear run as signaled by the benchmark indices’ week-on-week performance drop.
According to the Zan Securities Chief Executive Officer Raphael Masumbuko, “Market activities have sustained a period of plateaued growth as we closed of Q3.
He added, “We expect a bearish market for Q4 as the festivities period will prompt a slight sell off. Stocks will weather the prevailing uncertainties in the market. So far this year earnings expectations have trended upwards but current economic headwinds have introduced a significant amount of forecast risk to our estimates,” he added.
