Capital Markets CAPITAL MARKETS A downward trend in volume and in market value, as has already been evident for the last few years, continued during the first nine months of 2011. The fall in the volume of trade in capital market during the first nine months of 2011 was seen primarily as a result of reduced levels of bond trading (84%) and a decrease in investment (47%). This, in turn, reduced growth levels in stock by 69% when compared with the same period last year.
