In the month April 2013 market moved on higher side and continued the trend of last month. Many people assumed that April would be dull and no major activity will be made because of General Election 2013 but as I mention earlier that for the movement of market the main factor is positive cycle. If the overall market trend is positive, many negative factors cannot stop the market move. On the other hand if the market is in negative trend, many positive news could not move market in positive side.

Now after the General Elections 2013 everything looks more positive besides the Karachi position. Over all it was a good election and many other things besides Real Estate will be moving towards positive side. Insha’Allah!
