OUTLOOK
The stock market sustained positive sentiment as investors continue to take positions in stocks with good dividend yields such as the SEPLAT, MTNN, ZENITH BANK, and others. Also, as more corporates release their financial statements, we expect to see movements in response to corporate release and economic trends.
