OUTLOOK
Equity market closes the week positive; despite persistent sell-offs witnessed during the week. This is likely due to positive sentiments motivated by the recent release of companies’ Q2 financial statements. We expect investors to continue to react as more companies disclose their Q2 performance in the coming weeks.
