Trading was very lively for a change on Thursday. SPAD volume climbed to USD 49 million. Prices were still under certain pressure early on. IPB bank fell 21% and trading was suspended there. The IPS construction company surged 11% as fresh rumors about a new deal hit the market. The afternoon was short-covering time and most of the liquid names bounced back nicely. It would, however, be a bit premature to say that the recent bearish mood has changed.
