Final To be notified C M HOLDINGS 2. First & Final To be notified AMBEON CAPITAL.36 Interim SERENDIB LAND 1. First & Final CEYLON TOBACCO 19. Second Interim Point of View Bargain hunting on Sri Lanka s key blue-chip JKH pushed daily market turnover to a high since May (Rs.2.3Bn), pushing average daily turnover levels to 1-week highs amid large crossings in the battered blue-chip. Due to generally sluggish market conditions and weaker corporate earnings, JKH had wiped off ~8% of its value YTD (Rs.138 cf. Rs.15 in Jan 18) by last week, prompting large block purchases by local HNI and Institutionals as Foreign investors sold down ~.49% (6Mn shares) of their ownership in JKH. JKH consequently accounted for 45% of the week s total crossings of Rs.2Bn (24% of the market s total turnover) while large blocks in Ceylinco Insurance (48% of the week s total crossings and 25% of total market turnover) also helped revive the week s average daily market turnover to Rs..85Bn (avg. daily turnover has ranged between Rs..28Bn- Rs..74Bn since June 18). The revived market activity in JKH helped its price (which hit a one year low on Tuesday to register a 9% loss YTD) recover 6% over the remainder of the week, and the stock consequently closed up at Rs helping wipe off some of the losses made during the year. The YTD loss on JKH by the end of this week consequently reduced to 3.4% cf. YTD loss of 8% last week. The Index-heavy weight s price recovery also helped the benchmark ASPI offset some of its losses from earlier in the week, and the broad-share Index consequently ended the week on a flat note (-.4% W-o-W). Meanwhile, ~27% of corporates have reported June quarter results so far, with 56% of the companies who have reported earnings recording Y-o-Y gains in quarterly earnings. Markets in the week ahead are likely to continue looking for cues from the June quarter corporate earnings releases. Pace of Industrial Production Slows in Q2 18 Sri Lanka s Industrial Production (IP) in the manufacturing sector in Q2 18 rose a marginal.6% Y-o-Y, as manufactured volumes of Coke and refined petroleum products (15.%) and Chemicals (8.5%) rose over the period. Productions volumes of Wood products (1.5%), fabricated Metal products (9.5%), Beverages (5.3%), and Basic Metals (4.2%) also rose over the quarter but showed declines in the pace of growth compared to Q1 18. The IP index is a leading economic indicator representing production volumes in the Industrial sector for a given period of time and can be used to identify the turning points in economic development at an early stage. Thus, while the.6% Y-o-Y growth in the overall index in Q2 18 is positive, the fact that industrial production has slowed compared to Q1 18 (when the Index rose 1.6%) indicates a slowing pace of growth over Q2 18. Indeed, on a Q-o-Q basis between Q1 and Q2 218, the Index has declined 4.6% relative to a 3.7% decline in the comparable period last year. In line with this, the CBSL Governor last week downgraded the CBSL s full year GDP growth forecast for Sri Lanka down to 4% from its earlier forecast of 4.5%. At its latest monetary policy review last week, the CBSL cautioned that the downside risks to global economic growth remains high due to monetary policy tightening in advanced economies, strengthening of the USD and escalating trade tensions. The CBSL added that these developments have added pressure on many emerging market currencies, prompting some of these EM s to respond to these risks by tightening their monetary policies and allowing their exchange rates to adjust appropriately. The Bank added that while some pressure on the LKR was evident since late April 218, some of this depreciation pressure on the LKR has eased since late July
