Financial analysts have anticipated a mixed sentiment trading activity on the Nigerian equities market this week.

The local stock exchange exhibited resilience this past week, characterised by a touch of bullish optimism.
Investors continued their portfolio repositioning activities, with sectoral allocations coming into play ahead of the holidays. This occurred as market participants awaited the upcoming release of the May Consumer Price Inflation report. The positive market breadth supported a pattern reversal from the recent pullback, bolstered by the market’s low valuation.

Also, with banks unfolding their recapitalisation plans to meet the new capital requirement set by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the sector is witnessing improved volume of trade, buying interest and increased position taking in recent times ahead of the announcement of primary market offer prices. There is also the impact of the second quarter earnings reporting session in July. Guaranty Trust Company joined the list of peers that have notified the investing public of its primary market activities plan.

Analysts Optimism

Looking ahead to the week, analysts at Cowry Asset Management Limited said, “a mixed trend is expected, driven by profit-taking activities. Sector rotation and portfolio rebalancing on the exchange are expected to continue in anticipation of the second half of the year’s window dressing activities and the release of the May 2024 consumer price inflation report.

“As trading volume patterns continue to fluctuate, suggesting buying interest in some sectors and profit-taking in others amidst a wait-and-see attitude among market players, investors are advised to trade in stocks of companies with sound fundamentals.”

The chief operating officer of InvestData Consulting Limited, Ambrose Omordion said, “we expect mixed sentiment to continue in the face of low valuation and portfolios repositioning, dividend investing and reactions to Insurance corporate earnings, while taking advantage of pullbacks to position and rebalancing portfolio.

“This is amid the volatility and pullbacks that add more strength to upside potential. As such, investors should take advantage of price correction. Also looking at the trends and events across the globe and domestically.”
