Green White Green This Week
The Central Bank of Nigeria’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting will be held on Monday and Tuesday. Expectations are that interest rates will remain unchanged. To be candid, there are valid arguments to raise the rates higher (since they are below inflation) as well as leaving unchanged (other drivers of inflation in Nigeria are structural factors such as bad roads, and insecurity).
After the meeting, the Governor will take questions from the press and share his thoughts on the economy and more specifically the banking space.
Star-Spangled Banner Last Week
Last week was a record-breaking one for the US equity space.
The S&P 500 broke above the 5300 mark for the first time. The Dow also broke above the 40,000 mark for the first time.
What was the key driver of this? Inflation numbers came in a bit lower than expected, lessening the likelihood of an interest rate hike, which would be negative for stocks.
Star-Spangled Banner This Week
