Expect the price of $PGOLD to go up and expect the price of $SECB to go down.
This is because fund managers who track the MSCI as its benchmark and mimic MSCI's basket of stocks will have to remove $SECB in their portfolio by selling $SECB, thereby driving the stock price of $SECB down. Supply up + demand down -> Prices down.
On the other hand, fund managers will update their portfolio by buying $PGOLD thereby driving the stock price of $PGOLD up. Demand up + supply down -> Prices up.
The Law of Supply and Demand in play!
When the news broke out that $SECB will be removed, its stock price immediately went down. You could see a gap. |
