GCC Market Analytics: Qatar Stocks: Relative Strength Rankings

Qatar is where it's all happening at the moment so I thought I'd do a couple of posts looking into what stocks are leading the way in that market.

This post focuses on relative strength. The table below ranks each Qatar stock by the relative strength of its price action over three time periods: 20, 50 and 100 days.

For each stock there are three colour spectrums corresponding to each time period. When the black diamond is at the green end of the spectrum this indicates that the current price of the stock is towards the upper end of its trading range over a particular time period. When the black diamond is at the red end of the spectrum this indicates that the stock is towards the lower end of its trading range.

As you would expect from a market that has performed so strongly over the past six months there are a number of stocks that are displaying very strong relative strength over the all three time periods (the highest ranked stocks in the table below).

That said, there are also a number of stocks that are displaying quite week relative strength. So, even in a hot market such as Qatar there are still leaders and laggards.


In the next post I'll take a quick look at what stocks have performed best on a absolute basis, i.e. which Qatar stocks have risen the most so far this year.
