Outlook
Nigerian stocks ended relatively bullish at the fourth trading session of the week, amid buying pressure from a significant number of Nigeria’s leading tier 1 banks.
- Bargain hunting on bellwether ZENITHBANK (7.32%), GUARANTY (6.43%), & DANGSUGAR (6.25%) had the most influence on the index.
- Nairametrics, however, envisages cautious buying amid growing uncertainty in Nigeria’s key international market, which includes resurging COVID-19 cases.
