With about six trading days left in 2020, the stock market has recovered from the decline suffered in 2018 and 2019 and is set to close with a growth of about 40 per cent, writes Goddy Egene
When trading at the stock market resumed in 2020, there was high optimism that the market would witness a recovery from the losses recorded in 2018 and 2019. The optimism was based on past experience in the market, where a rebound is always witnessed after two years’ decline.
For instance, after declining in 2015 and 2016, the nation’s bourse recovered with a jump of over 40 per cent in 2017. So when the market dipped in 2018 and 2019, market stakeholders were optimistic that 2020 will see the return of the bulls to the stock market.
