1 MARKET WATCH Market Performance The US Financial Sector melt-down and global capital market haemorrhaging brought about one of the worst performances by the General Index in the history of the Amman Stock Exchange this week. The first four days saw the Index freefall by a whopping 15.1%, constrained only by the 5% up/down limit set by the Commission. Monday marked the lowest oneday decline, with the index losing points, equivalent to a 4.3% drop. On Thursday however, after global central banks emergency decision to cut interest rates and the Arab Bank s announcement of its intention to buy back treasury shares, the market rebounded and ended the day in positive territory, rising by 1.98% compared to the previous close. The General Index ended the week at 3,562.3 points, registering a week-todate plunge of 12.6% and a year-to-date drop of 3.1%. Share prices dropped across the board, with the market heavyweights, the Arab Potash Company and Jordan Phosphate Mines, registering within our list of top decliners for the week. Other companies that made an appearance as top decliners included the Arab East Investment and Bindar Trading & Investment, which had price declines of 20.2% and 24.3%, respectively, due to the listing of their rights issues, bringing about a downward adjustment on their share reference prices. The average daily traded volume deteriorated this week, dropping to million shares versus million shares last week, while the daily average value traded registered at JD million. Overall, 176 companies share prices declined out of a total of 196 companies traded, and the magnitude of the price corrosion pulled down the market capitalisation by almost JD 4.5 billion, from JD 34.9 billion to JD 30.5 billion, and brought the market down to times. Sector Performance The plummet in the market was mirrored across all four major sector indices, with the sharpest decline registering for the Industrial Sector with a 19.7% drop, effected by the decline in prices of the sector heavyweights, the Jordan Petroleum Refinery, the Jordan Phosphate Mines and the Arab Potash Company, followed by the Banking and Services sectors, with descents of 10.9% and 10.7% respectively. The Insurance Sector Index was the most resilient, with a 5.0% decline. Both the volume and value traded were largest for the Services Sector with million shares traded at a value of JD million. It was followed by the Banking Sector with a value traded of JD million, 70% of which was attributable to the Arab Bank. The Industrial Sector came in second in terms of volume traded, registering a total of million shares.
