Capital market sustains upswing amid subsidy removal, forex crisis
The Nigerian Exchange Limited closed negatively in the years preceding the elections of 2015 and 2019, but bucked the trend last year, posting a 19.98 per cent return. It has sustained this trend this year, despite the uncertainty that trailed the 2023 general elections.
On the first day of trading after the February 25 presidential election, the market hit N30tn capitalisation. A milestone which analysts said reflected local investors’ optimism about the policies of the winner of the presidential election.
Sharing the analysts’ perspective, the Managing Director of Arthur Stevens Asset Management Limited, Tunde Amolegbe, said, “For the elections, the market closed down for the two previous election cycles in 2015 and 2019. However, for the elections in 2023, the market broke from the conventional trend. Even after the elections, the market remained bullish, showing that inflation was good for it because it was the only place where positive real returns could be achieved when taking into account potential holding period returns.
