Conclusion
With OPEC+ signaling a production pause and inflation trends shifting across major markets, investors could expect near-term volatility in energy and currency markets. Locally, higher FGN Savings Bond rates and ongoing tech-driven corporate reforms may attract increased retail and institutional activity into defensive and growth sectors. Staying diversified across fixed income and strong YTD-performing equities remains a strategic approach as global macro signals continue to evolve.
