Accordingly, the Repurchase rate and the Reverse Repurchase rate of the Central Bank wasrevised down to 7.50% and 9.50% respectively. Consequently, the downward revision prompted treasury bill yields to fall across maturities with the 12 month yield declining as much as 41 bps to 12.45%, the 6 month yields falling by 32 bps to 11.78% while the 3 month yield fell by 35 bps to 10.44%.

Market Trajectory Even though investors appear to be in a holiday mood, we expect the bourse to edge upwards (albeit moderately) as we approach the year end. We recommend investors to take advantage of the current market opportunity to clean their portfolios, maintain a selective approach and focus on stocks that are likely to benefit fully from the 2013 economic growth. Consequently, we advise investors to focus more closely on fundamentals and sectors such as banking, construction, diversified and hotels, which are expected to benefit fully from the macroeconomic upswing next year.

However, the Eurostoxx 50 rose by 1.3% to close at 2631 at the end of the week with a rise in a German investor sentiment index boosting confidence. In economic news, Greece will begin to receive 34 billion in bailout aid through the European Financial Stability Facility in the coming days.

Meanwhile, euro zone manufacturing PMI data missed market expectations, while the services PMI surprised to the upside. In the banking sector, Spanish banks cut their reliance on ECB funding for the 3rd straight month, a similar trend has been seen with Italian banks.

The MSCI Asia Pacific Index rose by 1.1% led by gains in Nikkei, Straits Times and Hang Seng.
