Capital market analysts expect mixed performance in the equities market, as investors react to the anticipated decisions from the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), which will shape interest rate expectations and broader investment strategies.
Also, investor sentiment on the stock market reflects a mix of optimism and caution, shaped by the proposed 2025 budget of N47.90 trillion and anticipation of the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting, where interest rate direction is a focal point.

Analysts Optimism
Looking ahead, analysts at Cowry Assets Management Limited said “we think the market is likely to trade in mixed directions as investors react to the anticipated decisions from the MPC, which will shape interest rate expectations and broader investment strategies.
“Additionally, as November trading winds down, the market could see positioning for December’s traditional window-dressing activities by fund managers. This presents opportunities for discerning investors to take strategic positions in fundamentally sound and resilient stocks.”
Cowry stated that “Meanwhile, we continue to recommend that investors focus on equities with strong fundamentals and robust growth prospects to navigate the prevailing macroeconomic uncertainties.”
This week, Afrinvest Limited anticipated the bourse to reverse the positive momentum, driven by profit taking activities and risk-off reaction to the expected hawkish tilt of the MPC.
