Outlook

Nigerian bourse against headwinds closed the week on a positive note, despite growing concerns on the resurgence of the rampaging COVID-19 virus, that has continually disrupted the global financial market. This is in addition to Nigeria’s major export, Brent Crude closing downwards at the end of the week, and a rise in Nigeria’s inflation by 12.56%.

Nairametrics, however, envisages, cautious buying of stocks as many institutional investors, including FPIs remain on the sidelines, resulting in low liquidity recorded recently in the Nigerian stock market.
