Markets flatten as investors shun risky stocks

With investors still hesitant to take positions in mining stocks due to the recent backlash from the recession, which crashed commodity markets, analysts expect activity on the stock market to be subdued in the coming weeks.

With the exception of FNBB, which will be releasing its full year results, all the listed banks will be releasing their interim results and analysts say investors will be eagerly waiting to evaluate the financial performance during the first half of the year before taking further positions in the market.
