Key numbers

Nigeria's National Bureau of Statistics has released its latest CPI report.
Analysts at leading Nigerian investment houses say the move reshapes capital flows across West Africa, with implications for fixed income desks, equity rotation, and the naira's near-term trajectory. The data underline a market repositioning that began in late Q2 and is now broadening into the wider sub-Saharan region.
Proshare Research notes that the policy backdrop remains the dominant variable. Investors should watch CBN guidance, NGX liquidity, and the FAAC distribution cycle for confirmation signals over the next four weeks.
