What will shape the market tomorrow?
It was another bullish session at the domestic bourse as all sectors once again closed higher except for the Oil & Gas sector, which dipped 0.42%, the result of a 611bps decline in FO. Due to current market sentiment and renewed buy-side interest in the domestic bourse, we anticipate an extension of today's performance into tomorrow's session.

Stocks to Watch
On the Bid Cart: FIDSON closed today's session 980bps above its opening price to settle at ₦2.80. The counter fell to its 52-week low price of ₦2.55 yesterday, creating an opportunity for bargain hunting on the counter which dipped as low as 17.74% YTD yesterday. The upward movement recorded today however improved its YTD performance to -9.68%.

On the Offer Cart: NCR (-10.00%) led the losers table, closing fully offered at its intra-day low price of ₦4.05. A single trade of 100k units at market close was sufficient to close the stock as the worst performer for the day. NCR's YTD performance is now pegged at -10.00%.
