The equities market closed in the negative territory today due to the loss recorded in the Oil and Gas sector outweighing gains recorded in the Banking, Industrial and Consumer Goods sectors. Going forward, we expect investor’s sentiments to be swayed by the search for real positive returns and developments in the interest rate space. We reiterate that this may be a great period to pick up some quality names with a medium to long-term investment horizon.
