NGX Index To Breakout On Market Reaction To Positive Q2 GDP Numbers

Image
  Market Update for August 26 Nigeria equity market on Thursday continued its consolidation move as the NGX index inched up on a low traded volume and wide positive market breadth due to increased buying interest across the major sectors of the exchange.   The anticipated positive news of Q2 GDP growth of 5.01% was released to the market by the NBS to increase the number of good news despite the lingering social-political and structural impediments which had hindered the nation economic progress and peace. The better than expected Q2 GDP data was not a surprise to us in Investdata as the just concluded half year earnings season and other macroeconomic indices have given insight before now, as the purchasing managers index hits 18 months high of 55.4 points as of July from 53.6 point in June according to Stanbic IBTC Bank’s report.  Also, the Consumer Price iIndex, which measures price movement of goods and services recently, recorded four straight months of decline a...

Non-Oil Sector Lifts Nigeria’s 2021Q2 GDP By 5.01%

Image
  Latest data from Nigeria’s National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) on Thursday showed that the country’s economy soared by 5.01% in real terms in the second quarter of 2021, from 0.51% in the previous quarter, or the 6.1% contraction reported in the corresponding period of last year. The growth is the highest percentage growth since 2019Q2 when the economy grew by 2.12%, from where it rose to 2.55% by 2019Q4. Within the period, aggregate GDP stood at N39.123tr in nominal terms, up from the second quarter of 2020 aggregate of N34.023tr, indicating a 14.99% year-on-year nominal growth rate, higher than -2.80% growth recorded in the second quarter of 2020 when economic activities slowed sharply at the outset of the pandemic. The Q2 2021 nominal growth rate was also higher than 12.25% growth recorded in Q1 2021, despite a further dip in the oil sector with -12.65% year-on-year growth, from -2.21% in the previous second quarter. This resulted in real GDP negative growth of 7.13% in the fi...

WORDS TO TRADE BY

Image
  “Courage taught me no matter how bad a crisis gets ... any sound investment will eventually pay off." ― Carlos Slim Helu Don't freak out over the inevitable setbacks that all investors face, especially during a crisis in the market. The market goes up, then down, then up again. Though it can be erratic at times, that's the gist of it. Seeing a significant sell-off or pullback shouldn't spook a trader who has a solid trading plan. Stay focused on the big picture. Be more cautious and methodical, but ride out the waves. If you give in and drop out, you've admitted defeat. If your investments' reasoning is sound, stay the course, and everything will eventually work out. Just be patient.

NGX Sideways Trend May Persist As Investors Await Trigger For Next Move

Image
  Market Update for August 25 Equities’ trading activities on the Nigerian Exchange at the midweek was mixed but relatively quiet, as the NGX All-Share index continued its up and down movement in a ranging mode that signaled consolidation ahead of month-end in the midst of earnings expectation of the big banks and macroeconomic data that would reveal how the economy had fared so far, and also give insight into the future. Despite the seemingly directionless nature of the market, medium and low priced stocks like UPDC, Capital Hotel, Vitafoam, Honeywell, United  Capital, and others are breaking out resistance levels and making new 52-week high on improved volume and positive market sentiment, regardless of the low traded volume that shows the absence of institutional investors at the market arena at this point. Technically, when the NGX benchmark index or price action of a stock drops on a less than average traded volume as seen in recent trading sessions it suggests that large...

Caution, Sector Rotation, As Investors Window-Dress, Eye Interim Dividend Banks

Image
  Market Update for August 24 The seesaw movement continued on the Nigerian Exchange on Tuesday as the benchmark index edged up due to ‘buy’ interests in banking and manufacturing stocks that rebounded on expected earnings from interim dividend-paying banks’ just as oil recoup most of its losses in recent times, considering the approval of vaccines in developed economies. Tuesday’s buying sentiment halted two previous sessions of bear transition on a low traded volume and a slightly negative breadth in the midst of the somewhat indicators movement. The less-than-average traded volume revealed the absence of large players in the market. As the month gradually draws to an end and with all eyes on the results of first-tier banks and half-year GDP report from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), with the expected impact of the IMF’s $3.35bn SDR allocation to Nigeria which the CBN recently received to boost the nation’s external reserves and increase liquidity in the FX market to en...

Caution Still, Amid Month-End Realignments, Investors Await Interim Dividend Stocks

Image
  Market Update for the Week Ended August 20 and Outlook for August 23-27 It was a mixed week of up and down movement on the Nigerian Exchange as the key performance index closed marginally lower on a low traded volume and positive market breadth, amidst the continued portfolio repositioning and sector rotation among investors and traders. This had propelled the seesaw movement that short-lived the positive outing seen in the previous week as sentiments and buying interests moved to medium cap and penny stocks with high upside potentials judging by upbeat earnings emanating from these companies supporting the share prices. Technically the broader market remained positive and strong as revealed by the multiple time frame and indicators such as the money flow index and other momentum indicators. The zig-zag chart pattern and the consolidation channel of the NGX index on the daily and weekly charts show that it is still seeking positive information and statement to trigger a breakout....
