Dealer’s Perception
·
The
NSE-All Share Index inched up slightly, booking a 76bps gain.
·
The
banking sector went to the bears during today’s session as Access Bank and UBA recorded the only gains in
the sector. GTBank continued to oscillate
around the lower N17.00 band; it dropped less than 1.0% at the close of the
session. Also heading south were Zenith Bank and First Bank, with losses of 1.3% and 0.5% respectively.
·
While
UACN, Transcorp and PZ Cussons closed with no change to
their prices, Unilever and A.G. Leventis closed on the up-tick, as
demand for both companies led to a gradual increase in their prices. Both
closed with robust demand which could lead to a continuation of the trend early
next week.
·
In
the petroleum marketing sector, Eterna Oil continued its descent, loosing maximum points;
Current apathy for the stock, evidenced by glutting offers, could lead to
further losses early next week. Oando was also skewed to the sell side as it shed 0.4%.
On the other hand,
Conoil closed
with a 2.0% mark-up.
Weekly Trading
Summary
·
The
banking sector was split fairly evenly between gainers and losers as renewed
interest, after sessions of profit taking last week, led to a cumulative gain
of 6.0% for Diamond
Bank. Fidelity Bank, UBA and Access Bank bagged gains of 3.8%, 1.9%
and 1.3% respectively. Zenith
Bank and First Bank were however skewed to the
sell side for most sessions this week, consequently losing 1.4% and 2.1% at the
close of the week.
·
Guinness and NB booked slim gains this
week as buyers adjusted bid prices slightly after the announcement of H1 numbers
of NB; investors are however
still expecting FY numbers from Guinness.
·
In
the building materials sector, demand for CCNN and Dangote
Cement during
the week led to gains of 5.4% and 4.4% respectively; Lafarge Wapco and Ashaka Cement however lost 5.0% and 0.8%
this week.
