Outlook

The Nigerian stock market finished the week with a five days of consecutive winning, coupled with buying pressures for blue-chip stocks.

This was triggered by soaring crude oil prices which remained bullish, on the 4th week of consecutive gains. As COVID-19 induced restrictions globally eased, demand for Nigeria’s major export (crude oil) picked up.

Nairametrics, recommends that you solicit the service of a certified financial advisor, as volatility will most likely resume in the coming weeks. Happy holidays!
