The TSE’s main index, TEDPIX, rose 3,956 points to end trading day at 209,243 points on Sunday.

The market was boosted mainly by refinery stocks following the rise in currency rates in Nima ( the Integrated Forex Deal System). Non-oil export revenues, including earnings of refinery and petrochemical companies are offered on Nima.

According to the Donyaye Bourse Website, positive performance reports of stock companies, higher capacity of the stock market for better yields amid listlessness of parallel markets, and the flow of new liquidity into the stock market is said to be the main reason for the recent stock market boom, Financial Tribune reported.

The bullish trend since the beginning of the current fiscal (started March 21) comes after investors were disheartened by the bearish parallel markets.

Market observers believe that the relative stability in the currency and gold markets has dented investor hopes of parking money in the two safe havens.
