LSX Index down 4 percent in 5 days

The LSX has fallen 4.10 percent since Dec. 23, or 37.5 points in 5 trading sessions. Turnover yesterday was almost identical to the previous day's trading.

Yesterday it was US$17,973 and on Wednesday US$17,835. As for market sentiment on the low volumes there isn't any. Investors are choosing to sit on their hands and wait out the current trend. The Exchange turns one year old on January 11, so today and next Monday and Tuesday trades will be interesting to observe.

Global markets and currencies yesterday were very flat as oil tries to level out above US$103.
