Egyptian stock market climbs as protests ebb
Egypt's bourse was back in the green on Tuesday, as main index EGX30 rose by 1.1 per cent, closing at 5,756 points. The broader-based EGX70 registered a higher increase of 1.9 per cent.
The total turnover for securities was around LE 510 million, the highest this week, as "street protests had paralysed investors over the past couple of days" said Issa Fathi, vice president of the securities division of the Cairo Chamber of Commerce.
