Stock market experts expect the Egyptian Exchange\u2019s (EGX) benchmark index EGX30 to see a surge in preparation for breaking the 10,450 barrier this week.<\/p>\n
The positive expectations come in light of the index\u2019s continued rise last week, which saw it close at 10,278.86 points, recording an increase of 4.19% over the last week.<\/p>\n
Experts also expect the EGX30 to witness calm movements at the beginning of this week, before re-establishing new purchasing positions, in preparation for an attempted break in barrier.<\/p>\n
Mohamed El Aasr, Head of the Technical Analysis Department at Thndr Securities Brokerage, said that in case reluctance from the latter level is witnessed, the Index would then be vulnerable to retest the minor support level at 10,200 points. On the other hand, a successful breach of the 10,310 points level would pave the way to the next resistance 10,450 points.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose who are heavily investing in the market are advised to make use of the rebound to reduce marginal exposure,\u201d El Aasr added.<\/p>\n
