Why is December 2017 important:
For the past 4 Decembers (2013 - 2016) we witnessed the All Share Index appreciate despite the bearish sentiment seen in those years. Year 2017 s a remarkable one as we have thus far seen a bullish trend in the market with the index at 41% positive.

Technically, the 2017 bullish trend is lilekly to continue into the month of December. A strong rally upward is expected.

Our Expectations:

The Index is currently trading at critical technical resistance levels at 37,023.5 - 38,097.2. A break above the resistance level on weekly basis would see a steep rally toward 43,224.70 as such stocks from the Industrial, Consumer Goods and Banking Stocks would be viable for investors. On the other hand, a reversal in trend below support 34,633.5 would see a sell off by the investing community towards next support 31,024. 

The month of December 2017 would most likely see a bullish rally in stocks favored by fund managers. Stocks such as NB Plc, NESTLE, Dangote Sugar, GTB, Total Plc, Unilever, Cadbury would remain a toast for investors as technical indicators has signaled
