The reversal was occasioned by the
listing of 20.35 billion ordinary shares of MTN Nigeria Communications Plc by way of introduction at N90 each
on Thursday.
The listing rekindled buying interest
among investors, as reflected on the volume traded for the day and Friday, as
the market capitalisation of the NSE soared by N1.9 trillion, or 10 per cent,
to end the recent bear-run.
Consequently, at the close of
transactions last week, the NSE All-Share Index (ASI) and market capitalisation
appreciated by 0.08 per cent and 17.29 per cent to close the week at 28,871.93
points and N12.717 trillion respectively.
However, all other indices finished
lower with the exception of the ASI and NSE Premium Index that appreciated by
0.08 per cent and 3.60 per cent respectively, while the ASeM Index closed flat.
On the outlook of the market, the Chief
Research Officer of Investdata Consulting Limited, Ambrose Omodion, urged investors to trade cautiously as the weak
market fundamentals in the form of dwindling confidence and the prevailing low
liquidity remain unchanged. “We expect that the
government’s disbursement and implementation style in 2019 and beyond will
change for good so as to drive the economy,” he said.
Further breakdown
of last week’s transactions showed that a total turnover of 1.172 billion
shares worth N17.887 billion were recorded in 18,380 deals by investors on the
floor of the exchange. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html This amount traded, was however, higher
than 1.477 billion units, valued at N10.876 billion that changed hands in
20,740 deals during the preceding week.
Again, the financial services industry
dominated in volume terms with 680.592 million shares valued at N7.395 billion
traded in 11,035 deals, thus contributing 58.09 per cent the total equity
turnover.
The conglomerates industry followed
with 266.636 million shares worth N818.249 million in 1,152 deals. The ICT
industry ranked third with a turnover of 82.390 million shares worth N6.085
billion in 346 deals.
Trading in the top
three equities namely, Transnational Corporation of Nigeria Plc, Access Bank
Nigeria Plc and Guaranty Trust Bank Plc (measured by volume) accounted for
421.064 million shares worth N4.681 billion in 3,073 deals, contributing 35.94
per cent to the total equity turnover. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html
A total of 18,181 units of Exchange
Traded Products (ETPs) valued at N215,365.64, was executed in four deals,

government bonds valued at N9,783 million were traded this week in 9 deals

price, lower than 49 equities of the previous week, while 109 equities remained
unchanged, higher than 101 equities recorded in the preceding week. (Guardian)
