Outlook
Nigerian Stocks were all fired up amid favorable market conditions
seen across global financial markets, as Nigerian’s major export earning
product (Crude oil) recorded impressive gains.
- Buying pressure at Nigerian Stock Market at the first trading
session got intensified, as institutional investors increased their
buying pressure on Nigerian blue-chip stocks; not forgetting Dangote
Cement with its recent impressive earning result, kept the bulls roaring
high as market confidence across market spectrum improved.
- However, Nairametrics, envisage you seek the advice of a certified
stockbroker on choosing Stocks to buy, on the bias that some Nigerian
Stocks exhibit cyclic returns.
