Nigerian stocks added 0.9 per cent last week, driven by increased interest in the consumer goods sector. The benchmark index itself has yielded 37.8 per cent so far this week.
“Expected macroeconomic data and corporate earnings releases during the week may shape investors’ trading decisions,” analysts at Meristem Securities had said in their forecast note for the week.

“Sell pressure on tickers trading at their year-highs may persist intermittently, as price discovery in the market evolves,” they added.
This week, the outcome of a two-day meeting of the monetary policy committee is expected, with analysts foreseeing the announcement of Nigeria’s first rate cut in years. That could impact the direction that trade may take during the week.
