Daily Equity Market Report,
15th January, 2020

From the trader's desk...

The ASI extended yesterday's negative performance into today's session, losing 75bps to settle at 29,062.50bps as a result of continued profit taking in ETI (-769bps), MTNN (-298bps) and ACCESS (-286bps) among others. The index fell below 29,000bps at mid-day, however late recoveries in UBA (+303bps) and GUARANTY (+63bps) pushed the index back marginally above 29,000.00bps, though the YTD return dropped to +8.27% from the +9.09% recorded yesterday. Total volume and value traded for the day also reduced by 46.00% and 56.49% respectively from 666.78mn units and ₦6.52bn respectively to 360.08mn units and ₦2.83bn. Market breadth once again closed negative at 0.69x with 11 advances against 16 decliners.

What will shape the market tomorrow?
All sectors closed in the red save for the Insurance sector which gained 0.33% due to capital appreciation in CORNERST (+943bps) and CHIPLC (+263bps). With most key indicators still pointing towards weak investor sentiment and profit-taking inclinations, we expect the ASI to extend its bearish performance into tomorrow's session.

Stocks to Watch
On the Bid Cart: BETAGLAS (+10.00%) continued its recent upward trend, extending yesterday's gains (where it gained 967bps) to close at ₦64.90. The counter has climbed 20.63% so far in 2020 but trades at a 17.85% discount from its 52-week high price of ₦79.00.

On the Offer Cart: SOVRENINS emerged as the worst performing stock for the day, recording a decline of 909bps to close at ₦0.20. The shares of the insurance company rose to ₦0.22 on Friday, however profit taking in today's session returned the counter to its nominal price of ₦0.20 (the lowest trading price of any stock listed on the NSE).
