The Diagnosis

Analysis of the market activity in the week ended November 25, 2016 technically revealed waning bearish tendency while investors displayed active opportunistic buying tendency.

Also, an extensive analysis revealed a active accumulation pattern while investors displayed improved risk appetite, particularly in Financial Services, Conglomerates and  Consumer Goods sectors.

In addition, volume analysis revealed active bargain tendency towards TRANSCORP, DIAMONDBNK, FLOURMILL and AFRIPRUD while investors sustained sell postures towards UAC-PROP, ETERNA, ZENITHBANK and STANBIC.

Nonetheless, investors displayed fresh bargain tendency in some active sector(s), particularly in Financial Services. Consumer Goods, Healthcare and Conglomerates sector(s). However, we observed sustained sell tendency in Services, Industrial Goods, Oil & Gas and Agriculture sector(s)

The outlook reveals active sell postures.

In the week just ended, market breadth closed positive at 1.00x against 0.29x recorded in the previous week on the back of waning sell sentiments.
