Record Low of 4300+ in May 2020

Sri Lanka Stock Market heading toward ASPI 4500 111

Sri Lanka Stock Market moved up from Corona virus low of ASPI 4300+ in May 2020 to an unrealistic High of 13000+ in January 2022 entirely due to market speculation by local investors despite lack of foreign investments or any growth in the economy.

Stock Market is finally come to terms with the economic realities of the country resultant from energy and food crisis and dipped to ASPI 6800+ levels in April 2022.

Currently (June 2022) ASPI is trading around ASPI 7500+ level and it will not be a surprise if index dipped below ASPI 4500 (Corona Virus low of May 2021) before September 2022 given the status of Sri Lanka's economy and political uncertainty.

Questioned need to be asked from yourself is whether Sri Lanka is in a better economic and political situation than May 2020. If we are not then, shouldn't Stock Market be below the May 2020 ASPI of 4500?

It is certainly not the time to buy or sell!! It may be the time to do nothing?.

Investment advise given by Capital Trust Securities in September 2021 when ASPI was around 9000! I bought shares based on this advise. Why are they force selling shares?

Hi,

I don’t agree at all.

Can you find any product/services at prices you enjoyed during pre COVID19?

The answer is NO. It’s because of USD/LKR depreciation led inflation.

The ASI was at 7,800~8,000 levels when the USD/LKR was at 203/- and now trading at same or below when the USD/LKR is at 365.

This means, ASI now logically trading at 4,400 levels, if adjusted for USD depreciations from 203 to 365.

Therefore, the emerging market SELL OFF already happened for all e reasons including USD/LKR depreciation. Now the overall MARKET PE is 5.1x which is dust for an investor.

However, if anyone wants to collect low it’s good to collect incrementally low towards downward side.

Good Luck

At 4500 PER will be 2.5. Sinister & dirty agenda. Some BF who missed the bus & laughed at Expo collected huge quantities during the crash.

The CSE is mainly driven by market sentiment which is dependent on positive news.

Some of the positive news are:

1. Finalization of staff level program with IMF soon.

Ranil Wickremesinghe

@RW_UNP

"Today, I met the visiting IMF Team and commenced discussions. Looking forward to reaching a staff level agreement and finalizing the program soon".

2. Sri Lanka trade deficit continued to shrink

3. 21st Amendment to constitution approved by cabinet and is to be presented to Parliament.

Out of the above the finalization of staff level agreement with IMF will be big news, as it will give green light for bilateral loans from friendly nations and international financial agencies.

In other countries which faced similar crisis and when the IMF gave green light the first thing to go up was the Stock Market.
