August 19, 2025

Latest Oil price slide, output shortfall threatens Tinubu’s fiscal plans, election budget

August 14, 2025

The previous week’s bullish momentum was sustained, as NSEASI rose by 0.99% to start the week on a positive note. 39 stocks appreciated in value against 20 decliners to bring YtD return to +0.36%. The volume and value of transactions also increased by 64.9% and 113.58% accordingly.

SKYEBANK closed on full bid today, and emerged as the top gainer with a 9.68% gain. The ticker was closely followed by FO, NEM, PRESCO and DIAMONDBNK with respective gains of 9.10%, 8.82%, 8.50% and 6.41%. On the flip side, TRANSEXPR led the losers’ chart, after it shed 4.72% to close at NGN1.01. Other top underperformers included CAP (-4.65%), VONO (-4.26%), CUSTODYINS (-4.08%) and VITAFOAM (-2.19%).

All sector indices trended northwards with NSEOILG5 recording the highest gain of 3.48%. The sector index was trailed by NSEBNK10 (+1.92%), NSEFBT10 (+0.76%) and NSEINS10 (+0.25%).

We attribute today’s market performance to position-taking on fundamentally justified stocks, which are seen as attractive at current market prices. While we anticipate fairly positive trading during the week, we believe that the outcome of the ongoing MPC meeting, scheduled for 18th and 19th of May, would go a long way in determining market direction for the week.
