The nation’s economic fundamentals remained the major market drivers; leading economic news for the day was the re-appointment of the CBN governor by President Mohammadu Buhari. The president reportedly wrote the Senate for tenure renewal for CBN Governor- Godwon Emefiele whose tenure will expire on 2nd June, 2019. In our opinion, this is positive news, as it gives clearer direction to investors in the area of monetary policies. Nevertheless, traders were seen maintaining cautiousness through today’s trading hours. Please note that, the general analysts’ consensus posits that the proposed listing of MTN’s shares on the floor of The Nigerian Stock Exchange will brighten the market mood. Though we agreed with this position, we maintained that cautiousness and timely positions in blue chip whose price had been battered by the ongoing bearish moves remained an intelligent investment decision.
