Crane, Aristocrat, IGT propel AGEM Index to 3.48-pct rise

There has been a rally in the Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers (AGEM) Index, with eight of the global gambling stocks followed by the indicator rising in July.

The AGEM Index finished the month at 565.39 points, a 3.48-percent increase compared to the previous month. The index of share prices of shares in some of the biggest makers of gaming equipment in the world is 33.37 percent higher than a year earlier, showing an annual increase for the 34th month in a row.

The stocks of makers of gaming equipment that added to the AGEM Index notably last month included Crane Co of the United States, which added 9.88 points by rising 13.03 percent; Aristocrat Leisure Ltd of Australia, which added 9.67 points by rising 4.21 percent; and U.S.-based International Game Technology Plc (IGT), which added 6.35 points by rising 8.78 percent.
