The market finished the week firmly in the green zone with significant gains across all sectors. WoW the market gained 659bps, completely erasing the YtD losses, at current levels, the market is now printing a YtD gain of 91bps. The key driver of market performance was buying mainly by local HNI and institutional investors on the heels of the MPC’s decision to introduce a flexible interbank FX market. This guided to a semi float/devaluation of the Naira. On the back of these, local investors placed bets that this move would draw foreign investors back into the market. However, foreign investors mostly stayed on the sidelines, as they await the release of the modalities for the new FX market. We note that the Bull Run lost steam on Friday, as the market faced significant selling pressure on the back of profit taking.

The Industrials, Insurers and Oils also saw gains of 778bps, 346bps and 231bps respectively. We note that the Banks are now in the greens YtD (+1261bps), with names like ACCESS touching a 52 week high.

The market saw a turnover of N14.789bn, 12% higher than the N13.145bn that traded in the previous week, the bulk of which came in Post-MPC meeting.
