Cairo – Mubasher: The Egyptian Exchange (EGX) is likely to recover on Monday from profit-taking caused by Global Telecom’s stock yesterday to target 16,100 points, analysts told Mubasher.
Osama Naguib, head of technical analysis at Arab Finance Securities, said that the benchmark EGX30 index has faced a slight wave of profit-taking pressured by Global Telecom’s stock on Sunday.
