·        Volumes decreased from 219.4mn shares to 148.2mn shares (-32.4% DoD). Average traded value also decreased by 15.4% to reach US$ 31.6mn as against US$ 37.4mn.

·        Value leaders for the day were TRG which hit 120, TGL which closed at limit down following earnings, and ENGRO which was supported by rumors of a potential buyback.

·        Stocks that contributed significantly to the volumes are TRG, TPLP, HASCOL, HUMNL, and EPCL.
