Egypt: ESE Gains Le1.3 Billion

16 August 2012

The Egyptian Stock Exchange (ESE) gained LE1.3 billion on Wednesday's trading.

ESE continued on Wednesday 15/8/2012 its gains for the fourth consecutive session prompted by the current political stability and dissipation of fears of a planned August 24 protest against the Muslim Brotherhood.

The main benchmark EGX 30 index inched up %0.19 to reach 5120,25 points.

The broader EGX 70 index of the leading smaller and mid cap enterprises (SME) went up by %0.42 to 449,90 points.

The all-embracing EGX 100 index followed suit at an increase rate of %0.17 to reach 776,84 points.
