DANGCEM Drags Benchmark Index… NSE ASI Down 1.6%

The local bourse sustained a downtrend at the end of today’s trading session as the All Share Index fell 1.6% to 37,933.70 points while YTD return contracted to 41.2%. Notwithstanding, investors gained N76.9bn in value as market capitalization settled at N13.5tn.

The day’s performance is attributed to sell offs in DANGCEM (-1.7%) as ex-DANGCEM, market performed positively (+2.6%). Activity level was also mixed as volume traded fell 10.7% to 289.3m units while value traded inched 41.4% higher to N6.2bn.

Oil & Gas Index Emerges Lone Gainer 2 days in a Row
Performance across sectors was largely bearish as all indices save the Oil & Gas index closed in the red. The Oil & Gas index rose 3.8% largely on the back of a rally in SEPLAT (+7.7%). On the flip side, the Industrial Goods index led losers, down 3.1% on account of  a dip in DANGCEM (-1.7%).

The Banking and Insurance indices followed closely, falling 1.0% and 0.6% respectively as investors booked profit in ACCESS (-3.8%), UBN (-5.0%),CUSTODYINS (-4.8%) and NEM (-4.8%). In the same vein, the Consumer Goods index was dragged 0.4% lower due to sell offs in FLOURMILL (-9.7%) NIGERIAN BREWERIES (-0.5%) and DANGSUGAR (-0.9%).

Market Breadth Weakens Further
Market breadth (advancers/decliners ratio) – which measures investor sentiment – weakened further to 0.3x from 0.8x recorded yesterday as 10 stocks advanced relative to 30 stocks that declined. The top performers were SEPLAT (+7.7%), CAVERTON (+3.8%) and JBERGER (+3.7%) while FLOURMILL (-9.7%), UBN (-5.0%) and NEM (-4.8%) led laggards.

With the ongoing profit taking in the equity market especially in Banking and Industrial Goods counters, we expect a rebound in market sentiment on the last trading day.

Nigerian banks have limited k n o w l e d g e and understanding of oil and gas business, thus making it difficult for financial institutions in the country to tailor the right financing model for operators in that sector of the economy.
