However, analysis of the market outlook by some financial experts revealed that trade on the Exchange have appreciated due to a wave of “buy the hype”, and the ASI may hit the 80,000 mark in the coming weeks.
Mr Adetola Freeman, Regional Analyst, FBS Africa, had noted that while the ASI may hit 80,000 mark, underlying economic factors could cause a decline in the enthusiasm of investors subsequently.

Freeman said, this may also pressure existing shareholders to sell off their holdings

He noted that the fact that the current market outlook is extremely positive could be another cause for smart money investors to take a pause.

Freeman stated that this will later lead to a bullish run before the end of the first quarter and give birth to a new batch of investments in the NGX
