market capitalization. Share market's capitalization is an indicator,
reflecting market capitalization of companies, whose shares have been
included in KASE's official securities list. It's calculated based on the
number of issued and paid shares and their last market value. If deals in
a company's shares are absent, its capitalization equals to zero. Volume

volume of initial share offerings at KASE's specialized trades, but does
not account for repo transactions volume.

Note: Securities were sorted in descending order of deals volume expressed
in U.S. dollars. Small letters in the securities codes have the following
meanings: "p" - preferred share; the rest - common inscribed share. "
X" - change of price is not calculated, as this security got the first
estimation on KASE in analyzed period.
The volume of share trade in January considerably fell because market's subjects in the end of the year correct their financial statements, reallocating shares and money. Coming of the new year removes such the necessity and the market calms down.
However the market becomes more open, and its price characteristics let say about a new development phase and about some "price boom".
Weighted average dirty prices of 20 shares out of 28 ones involved into deals in January grew, prices of 7 shares - fell. Price of ROSA remained unchanged. KZTKp grew most highly (2.1 times). On the second place - MMGZp, their weighted average rate grew 2 times. Values of following securities also grew considerably (by over 30%), at that on open market deals, in January: CCBN, BTAS, ATFBp8, KKGBp, KZZN, HSBK and KZTC. Market's capitalization and KASE_Shares index (third table) are especially impressing. Nether the former nor the latter one ever grew so much and quickly. The reason of that is also growth of prices.
In the end of January exchange's share market was overheated. One of traders said the market had been seized by "purchasing fever". It was "all the same what to buy" for some clients of brokers. Results of analysis made by IRBIS in January (they were published on February 8 in news), show that yields of shares, traded in KASE's official "A" listing category, calculated on change of their market prices in year 2005, in the average totaled 90.1% APR using market estimation and 154.9% APR - on weighted average daily prices of open market. On some securities this indicator exceeded 100 and even 300% APR. Investors of almost all categories, being impressed by that, started active purchasing shares, rates of which at present breaks historic records.
Analysts of IRBIS assume this boom started in spring of year 2005, when most risky physical persons put their savings at stake and purchased shares from exchange's market-makers in the volumes of their compulsory quotations. He process was not active because most market-makers did not wish to separate with underestimated shares of leading companies. KASE, and Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan on regulation and supervision of financial market and financial organizations had to take several measures in order to introduce order in market-makers' work. As the result the latter ones had to raise sale quotations. Precisely these actions moved the market from the dead point under conditions of excessive tenge liquidity, increased need of Kazakhstan pension funds in growing instruments, due to growth of mutual funds' assets and brokers' strong wish to activate the market.
Falling of exchange's share market turnover in January, even under conditions of price boom, also characterizes the current situation. But, on the other hand, volume of instruments, enabled in trading, is still small and can not seriously interest institutional investors yet. For physical persons the market is attractive in the context of its speculative potential, for pension and mutual funds - in the context of their portfolios re-estimation. But not more. That's why investing in shares seems to be very risky.
However specialists of IRBIS consider the occurring things positively. Speculative attractiveness of the market and growing prices may raise interest of Kazakhstan issuers, who are interest in expansion of funding base. This, in its turn, may bring a big portfolio investor to the market, that in the complex can solve problems concerning liquidity in the context of the volume of available instruments, as well as in the context of necessary volume of money to be invested.
Having analyzed opinions of market's professional participants, specialists of IRBIS expect further growth of shares prices in February and, maybe, some technical correction. Trade volume may grow a bit.
