The Nigerian Stock Market has gained 17.37% in 2 weeks to the astonishment of investors. The question that arises, therefore, is whether this is a bubble or a reflection of economic fundamentals.<\/p>\n

In 2008, there was a similar rally to be followed by a catastrophic crash; the rest, as they say, is history.<\/p>\n

In addition to the stock market\u2019s effervescence is also an oil price stratospheric rally. This has left analysts wondering about its sustainability.<\/p>\n

The EIU expects Brent to trade higher this year at an average price of $59pb, compared to 2017\u2019s average of $53.7pb. This is positive for Nigeria\u2019s trade balance, external reserves and currency.<\/p>\n

In this edition of the FDC Bi-monthly publication, the FDC Think-Tank analyses these and other developments within the domestic and global macroeconomic environment.<\/p>\n

Enjoy your read.<\/p>\n
