  • Equities index closed positive on the first trading day in December, after a dismal performance in November. The All Share Index advanced by a marginal 0.09% to close at 25,265.08 points.
  • Today’s positive close trimmed the Year-to-Date loss to 12.18%.
  • Three of the five sector indices closed on a negative note. The Consumer Goods index posted a 0.53% loss, followed by Insurance and Industrial Goods indices which fell by 0.06% and 0.04% respectively. The Oil & Gas index (+2.96%) once again advanced strongly, followed by the Banking index which rallied by a modest 0.26%. Gains by MOBIL (10.24%), FO (10.22%) and OANDO (4.99%) lifted the oil & gas index while gains by WEMABANK (1.85%), FIDELITYBK (1.27%) and GUARANTY (0.66%) stirred the banking index. Conversely, losses recorded by CCNN (4.91%), WAPIC (3.85%) and NB (1.37%) respectively impacted industrials, insurance and consumer goods indices negatively.
  • Market breadth was almost even, with 14 gainers (20 previously) versus 15 losers (20 previously). Total volume traded increased by 87% to 773.9 million shares, valued at N1.9 billion, and traded in 2,334 deals.
  • The marginal gains of yesterday and today, despite the huge selloff experienced last month, do not point to sustainable recovery. We look for a decline in tomorrow’s session.
