Dealer’s Perception
·
Selling
pressure was the bane of the banking sector today with only three gainers at
the close of the session. Union Bank,
Fidelity Bank and Stanbic-IBTC rallied with gains of
4.9%, 2.3% and 1.0% respectively. On the other hand, selling pressure trimmed
off over 3.0% from UBA, Access Bank, GTBank and Diamond Bank.
·
Dangote
Cement recovered
from yesterday’s bearish sentiments as it picked up 1.3% at the close of the
session; Lafarge
Wapco also
inched up 2.3% on the back of healthy demand and a dearth of offers. Ashaka Cement and CCNN however recorded no change
at the close of the session.
·
Dangote
Sugar consolidated
on previous gains with a further 4.9% mark-up, while Honeywell Flour also rallied with a 4.7%
gain. On the flip side, Dangote
Flour lost
2.9%, while Nestle and Nascon shed less than 1.0%
apiece.
Weekly Trading
Summary
·
The
euphoria of H1 results continued into sessions early this week; however, profit
taking by mid week trimmed off some of the gains recorded. GTBank, First Bank, Stanbic IBTC, Zenith Bank and Fidelity Bank all recorded cumulative
gains this week while Access
Bank, UBA and Diamond Bank recorded losses.
·
In
other sectors, both Guinness and NB were favourites this week,
both booking gains of 5.0% and 5.4% cumulatively at the close of the week.
Speculative activities drove up the price of A.G Leventis with a 14.3% mark-up at the close of the
week while Transcorp, UACN and Unilever also rallied with gains in
excess of 4.0% this week.
Guess if the Dealer's perception would be the same as ed butowsky chapwood's.
