QCB auctions T-bills worth QR4bn – The Qatar Central Bank
(QCB) has auctioned treasury bills worth QR4bn on August 5,
2014, for which it received bids totaling QR5.305bn. T-bills
worth QR2bn with a three-month maturity period were
auctioned at a yield of 0.73%. T-bills with a six-month maturity
period worth QR1bn were sold at a yield of 0.96%, while T-bills
with nine-month maturity period worth QR1bn were auctioned
at a yield of 1.10%. (QCB)
Qatar state spending up 13% in 2013/14, slowest in 11
years – According to the preliminary finance ministry data
released by the central bank, Qatar’s public spending increased
12.7% last fiscal year, the lowest rate in 11 years, as slow
growth in current expenditure offset a sharp rise in funds spent
on infrastructure. Expenditure rose to a record high of
QR231.7bn ($63.6bn) in the year that ended in March, from
QR205.6bn in 2012/13. Last year’s spending was 10% more
than initially planned. However, the margin by which actual
spending overshot the plan was the lowest in five years,
suggesting the government has begun to rein in excesses of
the previous four years. Project spending soared 32.7% to
QR68.4bn in 2013/14, as compared to just 1.9% growth in
2012/13. Current expenditure rose 6.0% to QR163.2bn in
2013/14, a sharp slowdown from a 24.4% jump in each of the
previous two years, because of a drop in interest payments and
spending on supplies and services. State revenue grew 21.9%
to a record QR346.6bn last fiscal year, slower than the 27.8%
rise in the previous year. Further, the 2013/14 budget surplus
surged to a record QR115.0bn (15.6% of GDP), from QR78.8bn
(11.4% of GDP) in the previous year. (Gulf-Times.com)
Market & Corporate News
Qatar stock market set to be flooded with more liquidity –
Qatar issued a law formally raising the limit of foreign
ownership in the listed companies to 49%. The move paves the
way for more liquidity flow into the country’s stock market that
has a capitalization of $192.21bn. The foreign ownership limit in
most listed companies was 25% earlier. Non-Qatari GCC
nationals, who were previously treated as foreigners for the
purpose of trading in Qatari stocks, are to be now treated as
Qatari citizens. This means their ownership of Qatari stocks will
not be counted in as being part of foreign ownership.
Meanwhile, QNA said the Emir HH Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad
Al Thani had issued Law No. 9 of 2014, which amends some
provisions of Law No. 13 of 2000 regulating investment of non-
Qatari capital in economic activity. The law says that listed
companies should seek approval from the Ministry of Economy
and Commerce to amend their Articles of Association to raise
the foreign ownership limit to 49%. QNA said the legislation
also provides for raising this percentage (49) for foreigners
further with approval from the State Cabinet. The law is to be
effective from the date of issue and is to be published in the
official gazette. (Peninsula Qatar)
Qatar set to award projects worth $26.2bn – Qatar will award
projects worth $26.2bn in 2014 as compared to $9.4bn in 2013.
According to latest figures released by construction intelligence
firm Ventures Onsite, the infrastructure project awards across
the GCC are forecasted to exceed $86bn in 2014, indicating an
increase of 77.8% over 2013. In the UAE, projects worth
$15.18bn will be awarded, almost five times more than what
was awarded in 2013, while in Oman infrastructure awards are
expected to reach $7.4bn. Bahrain, which awarded projects
worth $382mn in 2013, is expected to award $3.4bn. Kuwait is
expected to award projects worth $3.45bn. Saudi Arabia’s
forecasted award of $29.34bn — the highest in the region —
represents a YoY decrease. The infrastructure projects make
up 16% of the total construction value of GCC projects, and rail
projects like the Riyadh Metro are the main beneficiary.
According to Ventures, it is estimated that the rail sector is
worth $200bn as the six countries aim for an integrated GCC-
wide network by 2018. (Reuters)

ORDS launches Myanmar telecom network – Ooredoo
(ORDS) has launched its telecommunications services in

will initially be available in Myanmar's three main cities of
Yangon, Mandalay and the capital, Naypyitaw. The network will
cover 25mn of Myanmar's approximately 60mn people by the
end of 2014 and 97% of the population within five years.
(Reuters)
ORDS’ Myanmar coverage to reach 68 cities by August 15
– Ooredoo’s (ORDS) coverage in Myanmar will rapidly extend

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF THE QE INDEX
Source: Bloomberg
The QE Index ended the volatile week on a bullish note. The index started the week on a bearish note, but witnessed a strong comeback registering gains
on Monday and Tuesday, which helped it to reclaim the 13,000.0 psychological level. However, the rally was short-lived as the index shed majority of its
gains on Wednesday and Thursday on the back of profit-booking. Meanwhile, the index faces its stiff resistance near the 13,200.0 level. Traders should
watch out for a move above this level as it may cover all the short positions and push the index higher toward the 13,350.0-13,400.0 levels. However, any
failure to move above 13,200.0 may result in a range-bound movement. On the downside, the index has immediate support near the 13,000.0 psychological
level. Any sustained weakness below this level may drag the index to test 12,900.0. Bulls should worry only if this level is taken off, as it may result in a sell-
off and pull the index down toward the 12,770.0-12,800.0 levels. As of now, both the momentum indicators are stalling, indicating lack of clarity in the
direction of the index. Thus, traders are advised to exercise caution and build their positions only when the index is able to breach the key mentioned levels.
DEFINITIONS OF KEY TERMS USED IN TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
RSI (Relative Strength Index) indicator – RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. The RSI oscillates
between 0 to 100. The index is deemed to be overbought once the RSI approaches the 70 level, indicating that a correction is likely. On the other hand, if
the RSI approaches 30, it is an indication that the index may be getting oversold and therefore likely to bounce back.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator – The indicator consists of the MACD line and a signal line. The divergence or the
convergence of the MACD line with the signal line indicates the strength in the momentum during the uptrend or downtrend, as the case may be. When the
MACD crosses the signal line from below and trades above it, it gives a positive indication. The reverse is the situation for a bearish trend.
Candlestick chart – A candlestick chart is a price chart that displays the high, low, open, and close for a security. The ‘body’ of the chart is portion between
the open and close price, while the high and low intraday movements form the ‘shadow’. The candlestick may represent any time frame. We use a one-day
candlestick chart (every candlestick represents one trading day) in our analysis.
Doji candlestick pattern – A Doji candlestick is formed when a security's open and close are practically equal. The pattern indicates indecisiveness, and
based on preceding price actions and future confirmation, may indicate a bullish or bearish trend reversal.
Shooting Star/Inverted Hammer candlestick patterns – These candlestick patterns have a small real body (open price and close price are near to each
other), and a long upper shadow (large intraday movement on the upside). The Shooting Star is a bearish reversal pattern that forms after a rally. The
Inverted Hammer looks exactly like a Shooting Star, but forms after a downtrend. Inverted Hammers represent a potential bullish trend reversal.
