OUTLOOK
The Nigerian domestic market extend its bearish trend to five consecutive days, as investors weigh the risk of the Russian-Ukrainian war on the local bourse. However, we expect bulls to return to the market given the spate of corporate actions, we anticipate improved market activity to encourage a bullish response this week.
