The PSE continued to strengthen yesterday, the market leaders were Unipetrol and KB

The PX-50 index added 0.3% yesterday with USD 33m turnover. Market leaders were Komercni banka (+2.9%), closing above the psychological level of CZK 3,000 on international buying and Unipetrol, which gained 3.5% on positive news regarding its privatization. We expect the market to continue its rally: CEZ is likely to underperform the market after a couple of brokerage houses lowered their recommendations on the stock. On the other hand we expect Komercni banka and Cesky Telecom to benefit most from today's bullish sentiment.
