Market Update for November 9
On Tuesday, transactions on the Nigerian Exchange remained upbeat, but on a reduced momentum as the composite All-Share index extended its bull-run for a third consecutive session, on above-average traded volume in the midst of positive breadth. There was also the impact of increased buying interests across the major sectors, except for insurance that witnessed some profit-taking activities during the session.
The positive sentiment and vibes supported the NGX index to close higher ahead of 2018 resistance level, as its counterparts across the globe recorded mixed performance on inflationary concerns and infrastructural bills that had impacted crude oil prices positively as it rebound at the international market.
Technically, the NGX index’s action has sustained its markup phase and is now set to break out a major strong resistance level of 43,921.17 basis points on price appreciation of high cap tech stocks and others. Also, momentum indicators have confirmed an uptrend with bullish MACD, positive RSI, and money flow index looking up on a daily chart, just as the possibility of a bull spike for the rest of the year and in 2022 is high after market players finish digesting the recently released earnings reports. We note that the market is set to break out its 2008 resistance level of 45,921.17bps if these positive vibes continue.
However, these strong earnings, interim corporate actions, and the level of liquidity in the equity space will determine the extent of the market rally when it rebounds from this pullback. Already too, all eyes are on happenings as regards the global inflation rates and oil prices currently oscillating around $84 per barrel; on the impact of the drop in oil consumption by China, as OPEC holds on to supply. So far, the direction of yields in the fixed income market remains unclear.
Tuesday’s trading started slightly on the upside which was sustained throughout the session before oscillating on buying interests in blue-chips and some profit-taking that pushed the NGX index to an intraday high of 43,730.89 basis points where it closed above its opening level, from a low of 43,242.15bps.
Market technicals for the day were positive and mixed with lower volume traded than the previous day’s in the midst of breadth favouring the bulls on positive sentiments as revealed by Investdata’s Sentiment Report showing 92% bull volume and 8% sell position. The total transaction volume index stood at 0.79 points, just as momentum behind the day’s performance remains relatively strong, Money Flow Index looking up at 68.07 points, from the previous day’s 63.07 points, indicating that funds entered the market.

Index and Mkt Cap Movement
The benchmark index NGXASI, at the end of the session, gained 483.58 basis points, closing at 43,730.55bps after opening at 43,246.87bps, representing a 1.12% growth, just as market capitalization rose by N252.41bn, closing at N22.82tr, from the opening value of N22.57tr, also representing 1.12%value gain.

Tuesday’s upturn was driven by buy interests in Airtel Africa, MTN Nigeria, Flour Mills, United Capital, Lafarge Africa, NGX Group, FTN Cocoa, Fidelity Bank, and Livestock Feed, among others, which impacted positively on Year-To-Date gain, which increased to 8.59%. Market capitalization stood at N1.75tr YTD, representing an 8.15% growth from the year’s opening value.
Bullish Sector Indices
Sectoral performance indexes were bullish, except for the NGX Insurance index which closed 0.28% lower, while the NGX Industrial Goods index led the advancers after crawling 0.21% up, followed by Consumer Goods, Energy, and Banking with 0.21%, 0.12%, and 0.07% respectively.
Market breadth was positive, as advancers outnumbered decliners in the ratio of 24:16, while activities in volume and value terms were down after stockbrokers traded 280.71m shares worth N3.48bn, compared to the previous day’s 443.61m units valued at N5.05bn. Volume was boosted by trades in Sterling Bank, UACN, Zenith Bank, United Capital, and Access Bank.
FTNCocoa and ABC Transport were the best-performing stocks after gaining 10% each, closing at N0.44and N0.33 per share respectively on market forces. On the flip side, Berger Paints and Caverton lost 9.52% and 9.09% respectively, closing at N8.55 and N1.70 per share purely on profit-taking.
Market Outlook
We expect the mixed trend on profit-taking and momentum investing as breakout traders jump into positions on the strength of Q3 numbers, just as candlestick formation and volume traded at the end of day trading revealed positive investors vibes as the index continues to trend up. Also, we note that institutional players are not selling but positioning in blue-chip companies, as they watch the pullback on a light volume. It is equally noteworthy that this pullback at this level is for the accumulation of more positions ahead of year-end seasonality. Also, many stocks are trading within their buy ranges, a situation expected to attract more funds into the equity space, given the Dividend Yield capable of serving as a hedge against inflation.
