Opening the week, renewed investor interests in the stocks of MTN Nigeria and Transcorp Hotel, on Monday, drove the Nigerian Exchange Ltd. (NGX) market capitalisation up by N29 billion gain.

Other primary drivers of the overall market’s performance included: Berger Paints, PZ Cussons, Unity Bank, AIICO Insurance, Nigerian Breweries, among others advanced equities.

Specifically, the market capitalisation which opened at N55,507 trillion, gained N29 billion or 0.05 per cent to close at N55.536 trillion.

 

The All-Share Index also rose by 0.05 per cent or  51 points to settle at 98,176.58, in contrast to 98,125.73 recorded on Friday.

 

Consequently, the Year-To-date (YTD) return rose to 31.30 per cent.

However, the market breadth closed negative with 28 losers equities outnumbering 13 gainers

On the losers’ table, Champion led by 10 per cent to close at N2.97, C&I Leasing Plc followed closely by 9.80 per cent to close at N9.80 per share.

Meanwhile, equity market analysts predicted that investors would trade cautiously this week.

The analysts predicted that trading on the Exchange this week would be driven by the outcome of the anticipated Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting that started from Monday to Tuesday.

They said investors would also react to the inflation figures announced last week by the National Bureau of Statistics(NBS).

At Cowry Asset Management, the analysts said that the market is expected to maintain a weak sentiment as investors continue to digest the latest economic data from the statistics bureau.

 

They said that the anticipated outcome of the MPC meeting, likely to result in a modest 100 basis points rate hike could further dampen market sentiment.

At Cordros Capital, the analysts predicted that investors would focus on the outcome of the MPC meeting to gain further clarity on yield movements in the fixed-income market.

“Consequently, we anticipate cautious trading from domestic investors in the short term,” they said. (NAN)
