Nigerian stocks rally on, ASI up 214bps

What shaped the market today?

  • The Nigerian equity market rode further on the euphoria of the new currency market structure with most blue chips closing firmly in the green. On the global scene, most indices were in negative territory as the upcoming Brexit vote and decisions by the Bank of Japan and U.S Federal reserves to leave interest rates unchanged weighed on market sentiment.
  • The Financial Services (+310bps) and Consumer Goods (+281bps) sectors extended gains following sustained interested in ZENITHBANK (+520bps), GUARANTY (+376bps), ETI (+250bps), and NB (+599bps). Likewise, the Industrial Goods (+217bps) and Oil & Gas (+73bps) remained upbeat owing to advances in heavyweight DANGCEM (+166bps) and OANDO (+563bps).
  • UBA topped the volume chart trading 166 million units, whilst ZENITHBANK topped the value chart trading 75 million units worth N1.3 billion.

What will shape the next trading session?

  • Amidst the largely positive market sentiment, we anticipate another positive close in the session ahead; we see the NSE ASI potentially with a positive year-to-date return at week close.
