I think they distort the headlines just to get clicks.

Everything is falling...even diversifying won't help...

1.buying the dips
2. cost averaging
3. Holding unto cash


Are the only strategies which can work...

Take for example the impact of covid-19 lockdowns on earnings and company fundamentals at the NSE will only be known form H2 2020...

Most firms will suffer in this environment. Those with cash reserves will survive and probably come out stronger.

Kenya has few or no firms in the "medical manufacturing" space which will see a boost. Or telemedicine or tech firms e.g. Zoom.

Safaricom is about the only "tech" firm on the NSE.

I'm curious too. I know this might sound distasteful to some, but with medical gases currently in high demand, is this pandemic a windfall for them?

Public Procurement manenos in Kenya. Electricity expansion has not changed the fortunes of EA Cables but it made some un-named individuals very rich.

Breaking below the 2000 mark on the NSE20 has scared the bulls in a mighty way. Short orders are not going through and have been in a limbo for two weeks on the trot despite the slight recovery in and across the market.

We just need to competitively devalue Kshs and blame it on corona. We will attract a lot of the QE infinity funds looking a for new home with our young population as a selling point.

Actually the Fed has setup currency swap lines with other major central banks like the European Central Bank,Bank of Japan,Bank of England,Bank of Canada,central banks in Australia, Brazil, South Korea, Mexico, Singapore, Sweden,Denmark, Norway, and New Zealand for these banks to hand over their local currencies to the Fed and Fed giving back USDs to re-liquify them with Greenbacks.These other central banks are creating new local currency and exchanging then with newly created Fed dollars.The Fed is only doing this with its allies.Obviously,Russia and China are not in the club for this but Moscow has largely de-dollarized so not a major problem for Putin and Beijing has over 1 trillion of USD denominated bonds as a buffer



https://www.bloomberg.co...dditional-central-banks

Apparently also our CBK isnt in the club too.KES just not important enough to qualify for the swap thus we shall continue to suffer dollar shortage.

Yes for now USD remains King relative to other fiat currencies despite Fed printing trillions but inevitably the USD will fall if the Fed keeps the printing press hot with trillions of extra liquidity.I wont be holding USD for the long term but currently USD is the "best asset" to hold

Medical gases were a small part of their business. The increase in the medical gases will not make up for the losses from the industrial gases. Also there is a narrow window to make money from medical gases and if BOC isn't ready the oppurtunity disappears ... with the Kenyans who will pass away as well. BOC isn't well positioned to capitalize on this oppurtunity.

What long term. If this madness continues long term no asset will survive! USD is the only currency to hold for now.

An excellent point.
I have not looked at BOC in ages.
For those who are interested they should compare sales Industrial Gases vs Medical Gases. The former must have crashed with the closure of factories, etc while the latter may see a modest increase. 2020 is likely to be tough on BOC just it will be on many firms.

Meanwhile, NSE Bulls got served with a 21% shave in March. Last time such a close shave was administered was in February 2009.

Emerging markets had $83 billion capital outflow in March despite being largely unscathed by the virus. That first wave sell-off is financial in nature (liquidations to cover losses/shortages/margin calls elsewhere).

The epicenter is now shifting from Europe to the US having done damage in most of Asia earlier. By end of April, the focus will slowly but surely land on EMs/FMs...for a sneak peak of how devastating that will be have a look at SA and India (currencies, debt, trade and stock markets). Second wave will be economic in nature (unemployment, bankruptcies, food shortages etc) which increases the odds of civil unrest during this phase.

By the end of Q2 if the global infection levels subside, then countries will begin to take stock of the damage inflicted. For heavily indebted countries, that will quickly usher in a debt crisis of its own consequences (low taxes, low fx reserves, increased debt burden et al). Without a debt moratorium or a wide ranging debt relief program by end of the year, then an L-recovery is the more likely scenario for KE.

NSE Bulls to reclaim 2000pts on the NSE20 today.
But negative figures on the Non Farm Payroll (NFP) due in an hours time may just spoil the party going forwardd'oh!
