    Commenting on the market performance, analysts at United Capital said “this week, we expect investors to continue to lock in gains in stocks with strong fundamentals, as the system remains awash with liquidity.”

    Also, analysts at Imperial Asset Managers expect “more liquidity inflows into the equity market as investors continue to search for alternative asset to deploy idle fund”.

    They said that traders were expected to take marginal profit witnessed last week, noting that buying interest remained strong in most listed equities irrespective of the NSE-ASI loss.

    However, market breadth closed positive, with 16 gainers in contrast with 14 losers.

    Wema Bank led the losers’ chart in percentage terms with a loss of 7.89 per cent, to close at 70k per share.
