In a prediction of the market performance for the week,  analysts at Cowry  Asset Management Ltd. posited that the market is likely to trade in mixed directions.

Analysts explained that this would be as a result of investors’ reaction to the anticipated decisions from the MPC, which would shape interest rate expectations and broader investment strategies.

They also noted that as November trading dropped, while the market could see positioning for December’s traditional window-dressing activities by fund managers.

They said: “This presents opportunities for discerning investors to take strategic positions in fundamentally sound and resilient stocks.

“Meanwhile, we continue to recommend that investors focus on equities with strong fundamentals and robust growth prospects to navigate the prevailing macroeconomic uncertainties.(NAN)
