NSE ASI swings into the red

What shaped the market today?

  • §The NSE ASI pared previous gains as key sectors (save for Oil & Gas) swung to the red following three consecutive sessions of advances. Global markets traded mostly lower as investors remained in wait-and-see mode ahead of the speech by U.S Fed Chair due Friday.
  • §The Industrial Goods sector (-237bps) led the market reversal after an early-session decline in DANGCEM (-471bps). The Financial Services (-70bps) and Consumer Goods (-42bps) also retreated into the red following declines in SKYEBANK (-781bps), ZENITHBANK (-186bps), NB (-78bps) and DANGFLOUR (-489bps). The Oil & Gas sector however proved resilient, adding 13bps on the back of an advance in SEPLAT (+181bps).
  • § Market breadth turned negative with 11 advances and 30 declines.

What will shape the nexttrading session?

§Whilst weak market indicators (as revealed by market breadth and volume traded) present a case for a bearish week close, we expect losses to be less steep compared to today’s session.
