Market Update For November 10
The seesaw movement on the Nigerian Exchange continued Thursday as the market resisted further decline that we have seen over the last three trading sessions on price depreciation and appreciation of highly capitalized stocks in the midst of better-than-expected corporate earnings and low prices of stocks that create real opportunities for entrance ahead of December year end accounts.
Despite the increasing economic headwinds and sovereign risk, the gradual improvement in volume traded signaled the fact that smart money is underway, as the benchmark NGX All Share index again broke out the ‘T’ line, before closing higher on a very high traded volume and slightly negative breadth, thereby extending the previous day’s gains in the face of sector rotation and expected year-end seasonality. Also, many players, including the institutional investors are holding cash to confirm market direction, especially as the financial market reset in 2023 and beyond is underway to create wealth for discerning investors. Also, the current market correction and pullbacks offer good entry opportunities to investors.
Technically, at the end of Thursday’s trading, some indicators revealed new uptrend that need to be confirmed today as the market opens, just as companies’ actual numbers continue to guide investment decisions on their portfolio alignment. This is also in the midst of increasing transaction volume that has become noticeable in some sectors and stocks, ahead of year-end seasonality and others events that are likely to give the market direction. Most stocks have touching their 52-week lows and some tending towards their year-to-date lows, creating more entry opportunities for discerning investors.
Investing in the stock market requires deliberate efforts, if you must be on the winning side of the market at the right time, because it pays to take the opposite side of trade when bull or bear sentiments among market players hits an extreme level. This is called contrarian investing, which has been behind the famous quote by Warren Buffett: “be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy when others are fearful.” It is important for investors to know what to do per time, relative to the state of the market and happenings in the area of market fundamentals and economy at large.
The prevailing dividend yields as prices are currently low, to support about the potential for a 3-5% Santa Claus rally, knowing that market pullback was driven by CBN rate hikes and others factors like 2023 general election, insecurity and exchange market problem. At the end of the day, the next outcome of MPC meeting could trigger the news-based market movements. As technical traders, we must not make decisions based on the news only. We do, however, have profit targets and stops in place to protect our investments from wild market swings that are caused by news.

Oil price rebounded powerfully to trade at $96.02, in the midst of plans by Saudi-Arabia to deliver full oil volume to Asia, despite production cut and Brookfield betting billions of dollar on Australias energy transition, amid the emergency energy shutdown in Ukraine. Also with fear of Saudi oil attack in the face of continued fear of global recession and supply tighten due to the Russia-Ukraine war that is getting worse, coupled with the impact of hawkish monetary policy by central banks, just as China’s COVID-19 lockdown issues are becoming confusing. The up and down movement of oil price also continues to drive volatility in the face of rising interest rates and inflation. 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.
