OUTLOOK
Market transactions for today closed positive with a slight recovery from the previous negative sentiment. Inflationary pressures also persist as investors remain indecisive and with most people patronizing the fixed income market. We expect to witness mixed sentiments as the global oil crisis continue to hit hard.
