Long term: Neutral

Our Expectations:
our expectations in the coming months is a strong rally to the upside first to retest and possibly breach the year’s opening price at 28,707.30 bps thereby turning the index into a positive level for the on-going trading year. Evidently resistance 26,361 bps which was breached has thus become a support as profit taking was only able to make the index retest this level and rebound to continue the uptrend. Timely entry is important as we expect minor corrections for better entries.

Recommendations
The stock market currently avail potentials to both value and speculative investors as equities from the banking, industrial goods among.
