What the markets are doing on 30 December 2020

The EGX30 rose 0.7% yesterday on turnover of EGP 1.2 bn (10.7% below the 90-day average). The index is down 23.1% YTD.

In the green: Ezz Steel (+5.9%), GB Auto (+5.1%) and Sidi Kerir Petrochemicals (+5.0%).

In the red: Dice (-2.5%), Orascom Investment Holding (-0.7%) and Sodic (-0.5%).

Globally, it’s a mixed bag this morning: The Nikkei and Australian Securities Exchange are down this morning, while Chinese and South Korean shares are in the green. Futures show wall street likely to open in the green later today — but the FTSE100, EuroStoxx 50 and the Dax are all set to open in the red.
