Analysis of domestic transactions showed that institutional investors outperformed retail investors by 14 per cent. Retail transactions decreased by 57.76 per cent from N229.95 billion in July to N97.13 billion in August 2023.

Similarly, the institutional composition of the domestic market decreased by 70.34 per cent from N432.49 billion in July 2023 to N128.27 billion in August 2023.

Meanwhile, investors’ confidence in Nigeria’s stock market remained strong as equities investors gained N1.4 trillion in August, 2023, despite concerns around the soaring inflation, interest rate hikes and weak macroeconomic indices.

The bullish trend can be attributed to investors’ jostling for low, medium, and high capitalised stocks across some major sectors amid favourable policies introduced by President Bola Tinubu’s new administration such as the removal of fuel subsidies, unification of exchange rate, investors strategically positioning themselves and taking advantage of the recent record earnings posted by quoted firms and the recent formation of the country’s economic cabinet and executives.

Interestingly, the market traded in mixed sentiments during the month under review.

Reacting to the development, market analysts described the performance as mixed- positive signs of domestic inflow growth and optimism driven by reforms but also a significant decline in overall market transactions in August 2023 compared to the previous month.
