Weekly Market Review & Stock Recommendations – March 21, 2022

Dear Client/Reader,

Global Economic Roundup

OPEC+ Supply Gap Widens Further as February Compliance Jumps

The International Energy Agency said the oil market was set for a 700,000 bpd supply deficit in the second quarter as Western sanctions on Moscow and buyer reluctance could lead Russian oil supplies to drop by 3 million bpd from April. OPEC+ produced about 1.05 million bpd below its agreed targets in February, up from 0.97 million bpd in January. Several major consuming nations, including the United States, have called on OPEC+ to raise its output at a faster rate to help calm oil prices which soared to 14-year highs after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

U.S. Federal Reserve Raised Interest Rates by a Quarter Percentage Point

The U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates by a quarter percentage point and signaled hikes at all six remaining meetings this year. It was the first increase since 2018 and comes after two years of holding borrowing costs near zero to insulate the economy from the coronavirus pandemic. The federal funds rate now stands at 0.25-0.5%. Prices have soared over the past year for the majority of Americans, pushing inflation well above the Fed’s long-term target of 2% and forcing its hand. Fed Chief dismissed talks about the possibility of a recession. Officials also pledged to start shrinking their $8.9 trillion balance sheet at a coming meeting.

Nigeria’s Total Public Debt Rises to N39.55 Trillion as of December 2021

The Debt Management Office (DMO) has revealed that Nigeria’s total public debt has risen to N39.55 trillion as of December 2021. The amount represented the total external and domestic debts of the Federal Government, 36 state governments as well as the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The DMO Director-General pointed out that the new loan stocks were raised from different sources which included the issuance of Eurobonds, Sovereign Sukuk, and Federal Government of Nigeria Bonds, adding that the country’s debt situation is within reasonable limits. With the total Public Debt-to-Gross Domestic Product ratio of 22.47%, the debt ratio still remains within Nigeria’s self-imposed limit of 40%. This ratio is prudent when compared to the 55% limit advised by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for countries in Nigeria’s peer group.
