The Jamaica Stock Exchange main market is trading in record territory just after opening on Friday morning.
Trading on the Main Market saw the JSE All Jamaican Composite Index rising 2,955.43 points to record close of 298,567.15 and pushed gains for the year to date up by 42 percent. The JSE Index jumped 2,692.74 points to record close at 272,028.45, the Combined Index surged 2,465.92 points to a record 282,248.23.
The Junior Market index slipped 1.42 points to 2,945.06 as trading in that market continues to lag that of the main market as investors seem to have refocused on the more matured companies that are listed on the main market.
At the current levels, the market is sitting just below the short term resistance level of 300,000 points and seems set to attach it soon.
