Sell pressure dominates stock market as investors lose N604bn

Hedging against Inflation

Goddy Egene writes that as inflation rate remains above 18 per cent, the stock market still provides investors opportunity to earn positive returns on their investments When investors stake their funds, their expectation is to reap positive returns on investments. That means a return that is above inflation rate. And considering the fact that inflation rate stood at 18.12 per cent as at the end of April 2021, investors must invest in securities that would produce a return of above 18.12 per cent. Although it is difficult to come across investment that can give yields above inflation rate, the equities market offers investors opportunity to enjoy positive returns. However, for investors to earn such positive returns in the equities market, they must seek the advice of professionals. This is so because just as the market is capable of fetching positive returns, investors could also lose their investments if not well guided by professionals.

Investors Stake N16bn on 1 4 Billion Shares

Goddy Egene The Nigerian equities market attracted investment inflow of N15.918 billion last week staked on 1.419 billion shares in 18,459 deals. This indicated an increase by 46.3 per cent from the N10.883 billion invested in 1.441 billion shares in 19,614 deals the previous week. However, the Nigerian Stock Exchange Limited (NGX) All-Share Index (ASI) depreciated by 1.6 per cent to close at 39,198.75, while market capitalisation declined to N20.431 trillion. Market analysts attributed the depreciation to profit taking in bellwether stocks following some gains recorded in the month April. Some of the stocks that suffered profit taking included Stanbic IBTC Holdings Plc, MTN Nigeria Plc and Dangote Cement Plc.
