The Nigerian stock posted another record performance last week as market indicators hit new highs while investors gained N1.334 trillion in five days.
In the face of negative returns in the money market and fixed income securities, the equities market has remained investors’ preference for some months now.According to analysts at Greenwich Trust Research, investors resumed bargain-hunting last week in search of competitive returns as yields, though improved, remained unattractive in the fixed income space, considering the sustained inflationary pressure in the economy.
