TASI ended 2016 in the green with +4% YoY return led by last quarter gains. A wave of positive sentiment and optimism from i) improved liquidity in the system following USD 17.5bn debt issuance ii) OPEC – Non-OPEC deal to cut oil production by 1.8M barrels led to sharp recovery in oil prices to $ 55 level & iii) better than expected expansionary 2017 budget with phased pass-on of subsidies against market expectations of sharp cuts in spending. During 4Q 2016, TASI witnessed three consecutive positive monthly performances, and achieved the highest level since exactly a year ago. TASI index broke the psychologically important resistance level of 7,000 points at the start of December-16 and closed the year at 7,210 level. .
