This is an increase of 40.11 per cent when compared to N346.43 billion traded in the first quarter of 2022.

A data by the bourse noted that the growth in value of equities market traded also reflected in volume as it gained 143.83 per cent to 54.27 billion in second quarter 2022 from 22.26 billion reported in first quarter 2022.

Also, deals on the bourse rose by 8.5 per cent to 320,778 in second quarter 2022 from 295,533 reported by the NGX for first quarter 2022.

The equities market segment of the NGX in 2022 has witnessed positive sentiment trading by investors paticipation in listed fundamental stocks.

This led to the market capitalisation closing second quarter 2022 at N27.94 trillion from N25.31 trillion it closed in first quarter 2022.

Consequently, the NGX All-Share Index appreciated by 10.3 per cent to 51,817.59 basis points in second quarter 2022 from 46,965.48 basis points in first quarter 2022.

The data disclosed that value of Fixed Income traded rose by 38.7 per cent to N1.01trillion in second quarter 2022 from N728.9billion reported in first quarter 2022.

According to the data by the NGX, volume of fixed income traded moved to 972,206in second quarter 2022 from 688,564 reported in first quarter 2022.

In addition, the market capitalisation of fixed income moved from N21.42 trillion in first quarter 2021 to N22.23 trillion in second quarter 2022.

The CEO, Wyoming Capital & Partners, Mr Tajudeen Olayinka, said that improved liquidity in the system in the last six months responsible for the positive performance of Nigerian stock market.

On other factors driving liquidity in the equities market, Olayinka said were instant payment of dividends to shareholders through electronic means (e-dividend), provides opportunities for immediate reinvestment of these dividends, especially by institutional investors, who manage funds and portfolios for clients.

He said, “This did not leave out other traditional investors, who took advantage of low prices, in the run-up to financial year-end rallies that we saw at the beginning of year 2022.

“Negative real return in the fixed income market and the need to hedge against inflation.

“Equity market is an inflation adjusting market, and so, some investors who were willing to hedge against inflation, irrespective of the downside risk that the market poses, decided to bring liquidity back to equity market.

“The ongoing crash in the crypto market brought liquidity back to equity market. It has been said that more Nigerian investors participate actively in the crypto space, and so, the sudden, though long expected crash in that market, made some affected Nigerian investors cut their losses, for less volatile and recoverable opportunities in the equity market.”

According to him, availability of derivative products is encouraging more institutional investors to embrace equity market.

“Investors can now short or long the market at ease. All these activities provide liquidity to the market,” he also said.
