Analysts anticipate mixed performance on the Nigerian equities market this week amidst portfolio rebalancing.

In the just-concluded week, the stock market saw mixed sentiment as this move took the index further away from the 100,000-point mark, reflecting investors’ caution amid ongoing economic challenges and policy shifts by both the fiscal and monetary authorities.

The week was marked by fluctuating trading patterns across sectors, with the Industrial and Consumer Goods indices particularly impacted. Investors remained on edge due to concerns over inflation, fuel price hikes, and the potential effects of fiscal policies on critical sectors.

Analysts Optimism
Looking ahead to the new week, Cowry Assets Management Limited said, “mixed sentiment is expected to persist as portfolio rebalancing continues. Despite the recent downturn, a near-term rebound is anticipated, although investor sentiment is expected to remain cautious.
“The release of October’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures by the National Bureau of Statistics could further weigh on market sentiment, with persistent inflationary pressures and potential currency volatility keeping investors on the edge. As a result, we advise investors to focus on fundamentally sound stocks while remaining mindful of broader economic conditions.”
However, analysts at Afrinvest Limited noted that, “in the new week, we expect interest in the ongoing right issue as well as investors positioning in tickers with positive earnings to drive performance towards the green territory.”

Last Week’s Trading Activities
Buy interest dominated the equities market in three of the five trading sessions. Nevertheless, the All-Share Index returned negative, down by 0.20 per cent week-on-week (W-o-W) to close at 97,236.19 points. Also, market capitalisation lost N118 billion W-o-W to close at N58.920 trillion.
