There was a halt in the hitherto bullish run, as NSEASI slid by 0.50% to pressure YtD return to –13.31%. Market breadth (1.04x) tilted in favour of advancers, as 24 stocks appreciated against 23 decliners. Volume traded dipped by 13.02% while market turnover advanced by 3.31%.
UACN led the gainers with a 6.82% gain to close at NGN41.49, while NEM (5.00%), IKEJAHOTEL (4.92%), MANSARD (4.71%) and AGLEVENT (1.19%) trailed in that order. On the flip side, OKOMUOIL rocked the bottom, shedding 9.73% just as UBA (-4.92%), ACCESS (-4.89%), DANGFLOUR (-4.51%) and CUTIX (-4.46%) followed accordingly.
Similar to yesterday’s outcome, most sector indicators trended southward, with NSEBNK10 (-1.68%) recording the highest loss, followed by NSEOILG5 (-0.24%). Contrarily, NSEINS10 returned the highest gain of 1.66% convoyed by NSEFBT10 (0.08%).
The outcome of today’s market performance was in line with our expectation, as we envisaged some level of profit-taking on stocks that appreciated considerably during the period of market gains. We advise cautious trading, as we anticipate tempered trading in the last trading day of the week| Meristem
