NSE Indicators Seek Direction, As Volatility, Portfolio Rebalancing, Profit Taking Linger

Market Update for November 9

The stock market on Thursday was lower on a mixed session that was volatile as traders took profit from short positions in rebalancing their portfolios and positioning.
The mixed sentiments followed the indifference among market players to the N8.6tr 2018 budget estimates submitted to the National Assembly and the downgrade of Nigeria’s sovereign rating by Moody’s. The seemingly weak speculation at this point should not shake you out of position as major factors to force prices to another lower lows are currently absent in the market except for market sentiment to different news or policy statements and action of the government or its agency. The smaller the range, the less the volume, the higher the possibility that the uptrend will continue since the recent strong resistance level have been broken, waiting for more volume for continuation of uptrend. The retention of Nigeria in the MSCI frontier index is expected to boost share prices, just as strong company fundamentals will certainly support higher payout at the end of the financial year.
The market gapped down and dropped sharply lower at the opening bell on its wave 5 extension which lingered till midday before the rally and then got hammered shortly during the afternoon hour where it reached its lows for the day. At that point, the intraday low was 36,932.48 from high of 37,156.28 to close below its opening.
Buying pressure reduced as revealed by volume index of 0.63 with buy position of 53% and sell volume of 47% , while total transactions for the day short lived the two-day bull transition.
Meanwhile, the benchmark index lost 87.43 basis points to close at 37,051.54 from 37,138.97 points it opened, which represented a 0.24% decline. In the same vain, market capitalisation was down by N30.26bn to N12.83tr, representing 0.24% depreciation in value from previous N12.85tr.
Downturn suffered on Thursday was due to value loss by medium and high cap stocks like Dangote Cement, Zenith Bank, Dangote Sugar, UBA, Nigeria Breweries and Guinness Nigeria as traders took profit, a situation that impacted negatively on the ASI’s year-to-date return, which fell to 37.87%, just as YTD growth in market capitalisation stood at N3.58tr, representing a 38.68% rise above the year’s opening value.
Market breadth for the day was negative as the number of decliners also marginally outpaced advancers in the ratio of 22:21 on a low traded volume that was lower than previous day’s level to stop the bull.
Market activities in terms of volume and value were mixed as volume was down by 9.16% to 175.75m shares from the previous day’s 193.48m units, while value for the day was up by 94.91% from N1.81bn on Wednesday to N3.52bn.
Transactions in the shares of Guaranty Trust Bank, FBNH, Fidelity Bank, FCMB and Diamond Bank topped the volume chart.
At the end of the day’s trading session, Caverton topped the advancers’ chart, gaining 9.46% to close at N1.68 per share, on market sentiment and improved Q3 numbers; followed by International Brewery’s 8.38% notch, to close at N48.99 on market forces and merger plan.
On the flipside, Law Union and Rock Inssurance, shed 4.62% to close at N0.62 on market forces; followed by Fidelity Bank’s 4.14% loss, to close at N1.62 per unit on profit taking.
