Market Review
Going from strength to strength, the Benchmark index garnered
more gains as investors sentiment remain positive. NSEBNK closed
in the green on the backdrop of the MPC meeting just concluded;
the naira is not to be devalued. OILG and CNSM lost most points as
Nestle(-2.87%), Seplat(-1.93%) and 7-Up(-1.17%) shed prices.
In the broad market, decliners thumped advancers 37 to 21 leaving
37 issues unchanged. Market activity level in terms of value traded
appreciated by 20.69% from that of the previous. Top worst
performers were OkomuOil(N23.90), RTBriscoe(N0.76) and Union
Dicon(N13.23) while GTB(N20.73), UBN(N9.03) and UPL(N4.00) led
the gainers’ list.
Brief report from the MPC meeting:
1. The MPR remains unchanged at 13% as voted by 11
members of the committee.
2. The CRR (cash reserve ratio) on private sector funds remains
unchanged at 20%.
3. The CRR on public sector funds remains unchanged at 75%.
4. The LR(liquidity ratio) remains unchanged at 30%
We maintain that investors should engage defensive stocks with
healthy performance. Access, OkomuOil, UACN and Dangote
Cement look attractive for this week.

MPC Preview - Reasons to expect a post-election devaluation
The Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) is stuck between a rock and a hard place. In an environment of plunging oil
prices, it has (quite sensibly) done its best to keep domestic liquidity tight, to contain the demand for hard currency, to smooth out volatility in the
FX market and to eliminate opportunities for arbitrage.
Nevertheless, domestic liquidity (as shown below) is still abundant, spreads between official and interbank rates continue to be large (touching
13% yesterday), and FX reserves have fallen another US$2.6bn in the two months since the last MPC meeting. As the conventional policy tools
monetary policy – the policy rate, cash reserve requirements – reach their limit, the CBN is facing some difficult choices.
In our view, these choices boil down to: (a) implementing further MPR and CRR hikes, but with diminishing marginal returns; (b) using FX reserves
to close the gap between the official and interbank markets, for as long as it can afford to do so; (c) allowing a further devaluation of the exchange
rate, reducing both the benefits of arbitrage and the drain on FX reserves. Our sense is that MPC will opt for option (b) until elections, and option
(c) after them.
