Outlook

Nigerian bourse ended the first trading session on a negative note, amid soaring crude oil prices. The reduced influence of Foreign portfolio investors is partly responsible for the reduced liquidity relatively seen in the Nigerian bourse YTD, especially in the era of COVID-19, amid the bullish run prevailing relatively as local investors cash out some of their gains.

  • Darlington Morsi Onyemaka, Co-Founder of Quba Exchange, attributed such rationality to treatment for securities classified in the MSCI Nigerian index, as highly attributed to the low level of liquidity recorded in the Nigerian financial market, which has been recently affected by the COVID-19 crisis, as the index maintenance methodology used by MSCI requires liquidity screening in a bid to ensure efficiency and replicability of the MSCI indexes.
  • Selling pressure by top NSE30 Stocks weighed heavily on the Sub Saharan Exchange. Nairametrics envisage caution when buying, as recent price action anticipates more profit-taking moves.
