Market Update For November 23
It was yet another bullish session on the Nigerian Exchange at the midweek, with the bull rampage recording the highest daily gain on the exchange since November 2021, breaking out two psychological levels of 45,000 and 46,000 on improved traded volume that is less than average daily transaction on NGX. S
The positive momentum waxed stronger during the session, seemingly ignoring the latest 100 basis points rate hike that raised the Monetary Policy Rate to 16.5%, representing 500bps increase MPR in six months from 11.5% to 16.5% in four consecutive meetings of the apex bank.
Despite, the hike in interest rate, the buying pattern and sentiments in the market suggest players had earlier factored in the outcome of MPC meeting, as NGX had followed through the four trading sessions with more than 2% gain, technically confirming strong rebound, after having golden crossover of T line, 20-day moving and 50-day EMA on a relatively low traded volume that indicates the absence of institutional players. A breakout of the 50-day moving average may signal the entrance of smart money ahead of year-end seasonality and corporate actions in 2023.
The increased buying interest across the major sectors of the market especially in industrial goods, banking and others, in the face of low traded volume. Just as the benchmark NGX All-Share index extended its bull run for the fourth consecutive days in the midst of positive market breadth and strengthen momentum at the accumulation/ early markup phase of the market.
Also, investors continue to reposition their portfolios on the strength of the recent corporate earnings. Investors are viewing all of these against the backdrop of the rampaging inflation as they hedge against the rising inflation in some stocks with high dividend yields and strong earnings to support higher payout as financial year end of many companies draw closer.
The current low traded volume in the face of positive market breadth signals the activities of speculators, and bargain hunters, given that institutional investors are still standing on the fence as revealed by transactions on the exchange. The increasing buying interest in banking stocks and other undervalued companies signals a buy market and imminent price markup by smart money. We also note the fact that many players, including the institutional investors are still holding cash to confirm market direction, especially given the anticipated financial market reset in 2023, and beyond expected to create wealth for action takers.

Oil price oscillation continued as it pulled back to trade at $85.41, as Russia oil price is being caped in the midst of Saudi cutting production, Covid 19 cases in China, geopolitical tension and fear of recession as a result of high interest rate and inflation across the globe. Also supply tighten due to the Russia-Ukraine war that has been lingering. The up and down movement of oil price also continues to drive volatility. Despite the bailout package of the Chinese government to simulate economic activates and stabilize employment, as well as that of Germany aimed at managing the energy crisis.
Midweek’s trading opened slightly in the downside before rebounding between midday to early afternoon on demand for cement, and banking stocks, among others, a situation that pushed the NGX’s index to an intraday high of 46, 233.18bps from its lows of 44,899.66bps before closing above its opening level at 46,232.37bps.
