Market Update for November 7

Tuesday’s trading on the Nigerian Exchange had a mixed session, sustaining its bullish momentum with the NGX All-Share index closing higher on a very high traded volume and buying sentiment in the face of a marginal negative market breadth. As a result, the bull transition was extended for a third consecutive session, amid reactions to the better-than-expected corporate earnings and portfolio rebalancing even as higher yields in the fixed income market continue, while all eyes remain on the expected data such as the October inflation, Q3 GDP and policy committee meeting coming later this month. These will offer investors and analysts a clear direction of the economy in the midst of dynamics that November the month of November has been associated with, and, of course, the usual year-end seasonality.
While market players and institutional investors continue to digest the latest corporate earnings to reposition their portfolios ahead of year end, there is also the need to look at the impact of the mixed outlook in money and bond market yields due to the rising inflation for which slowdown is not in view. This is due to the heightening insecurity following across the nation, for which many countries have issued travel advisory on where to go, or avoid in Nigeria, which is not good for the economy. To hedge against this high inflation in the country, the equity space remains attractive to investors, judging by the huge returns recorded year-to-date.
The bullish sentiment witnessed on Tuesday was revealed by the Money flow index and candlestick formation, as the index hit again a new all-time high of 70,613.60 after testing 70,625.53 to extend the markup phase.
