How is the Nigerian stock market feeling today?

A daily reading of NGX mood, built from three real signals: how much the index moved, how many shares rose versus fell, and where today sits against its own recent run. Free, no login, nothing tracked.

Reading today's market

This tracks mood, not money moves. A high reading means more of the market rose today, and recently, than fell. A low reading means the opposite. It is not a forecast, and it is not telling you to buy or sell anything today.

How this is built, and what it is not

Three signals, each worked out from the Nigerian Exchange's own end-of-day numbers, republished at afx.kwayisi.org and checked twice a day:

  • Momentum. How much the NGX All-Share Index moved today, up or down.
  • Breadth. How many listed companies' shares rose today compared with how many fell.
  • Trend. Where today's index sits against its own average over the last ten trading days. This signal needs a short run of real history first: it switches on once five trading days have been gathered, and keeps sharpening for a few more after that.

The three scores are averaged into the one reading at the top of this page, the same way a well-known American version of this idea averages seven signals into one. Two signals from that longer list are not built here, on purpose rather than by oversight: a 52-week high and low signal, because no source publishes that history for NGX shares anywhere, and a bond-yield signal, because the Nigerian government sources that would carry it lock the real numbers behind pages built for a browser, not a plain data feed. Both are open questions, not abandoned ones.

A reading here describes mood, not value. A crowded, upbeat market is not the same thing as a cheap one, and a nervous market is not the same thing as a mistake. This page is education, not financial advice, the same as everywhere else on this site.
