Analytical Review
Japanese Nikkei rose more than 1 percent to a near two-year high on Tuesday, encouraged by rebound in U.S. hi-tech shares as investors bet on solid growth in the economy and corporate profits globally. MSCI broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan held firm near a two-year high struck last week, but was little changed on the day, with gains in high-tech firms offset by a decline in Australian shares. A big focus for Asia is whether index provider MSCI will later in the global day open up its Emerging Markets Index to Chinese mainland shares which have restricted access for foreign investors. Many investors expect the so-called A shares that make up the majority of Chinese stock market to likely be included after being rejected on three previous occasions. The blue-chip CSI300 index of mainland stocks was down 0.2 percent. Wall Street S&P 500 and the Dow industrial average hit record highs as technology shares bounced back after some sudden falls earlier this month. MSCI Pakistan Standard (Large and Middle Capp) droppped by 0.10% while MSCI Pakistan IMI Index (Small, Middle and Large Cap) dropped by 0.72% on DoD basis during last trading session.
The government may be heading towards a series of liquidity damages and swelling capacity payments as it works towards ending power cuts by the end of the year. Official documents seen by Dawn suggest that even though the government has lined up imported Liquefied Natural Gas through independent bidding, it is having difficulties in the off-take of these quantities due to infrastructure bottlenecks. On the other hand, the country’s power generation capacity is expected to outperform demand by the end of October for the first time in over a decade.

Technical Analysis
The Benchmark KSE100 Index penetrated its bullish trend channel in bearish direction while expanding its previous correction and is caged in a descending triangle on daily chart. Breakout on either side of this triangle will push index for a new trend. As of now, the supportive regions are at around 48550 and 46257 and these levels could try to push index upward as they fall on 61.8% expansion level and a horizontal supportive region. If the index closes below these level then the next targets would be 45200 and 44500 at 100% expansion levels of its latest bearish corrections. Trading with strict stop loss of 46257 is recommended and after breakout of 46257 selling on strength would be preferred.
