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.

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)
