Why should ordinary Nigerians care if S&P Global acquires Agusto & Company?
Why should ordinary Nigerians care if S&P Global acquires Agusto & Company?
At first glance, it sounds like another corporate transaction.
In reality, it could influence borrowing costs, business growth, pension fund performance, infrastructure financing, and the future of Nigeria`s capital markets.
Here`s why it matters:
S&P Global is one of the world`s leading providers of credit ratings and financial intelligence.
Agusto & Company is one of Africa`s most respected credit rating agencies, with deep knowledge of local businesses and markets.
But remember...
A credit rating is an informed opinion not a guarantee.
It helps lenders compare risk, but every financial decision still requires careful analysis.
Do you think this acquisition could strengthen Nigeria`s position in global financial markets?

Labour market indicators including JOLTs Job Openings, Initial Jobless Claims, and Friday`s Non-Farm Payrolls will offer fresh clues on the strength of the U.S. economy and the Federal Reserve`s next move.
China`s inflation, trade, and PMI data will provide important signals for global commodity demand and emerging markets.

Economic resilience that supports growth.

Weekly Market Review
Nigeria`s financial markets closed July with one dominant theme: liquidity is driving opportunity.
As the month came to an end, the market painted a picture of resilience despite global uncertainty.
Here`s what stood out:
System liquidity remained robust.
Treasury Bills, OMO Bills, and FGN Bond yields eased.
Both OMO and NTB auctions recorded strong oversubscriptions.
The Naira remained relatively stable.
On the equities side, profit-taking offset gains from strong half-year corporate earnings, resulting in mixed market performance.
Looking ahead, August could become one of the most important months of the year.
The key question now is:
Will abundant liquidity continue pushing yields lower, or will inflation and policy expectations slow the momentum? Tap link in bio to read more.

Nigeria’s Financial Market Is Becoming Spider-Man
Every Spider-Man story begins with an ordinary person discovering extraordinary power.
Nigeria’s financial market is going through its own transformation.
For years, investing felt like a world reserved for institutions, wealthy individuals, and market insiders. But inflation, currency pressures, rising interest rates, and digital finance have changed the game.
The “spider bite” has arrived.
Millions of Nigerians are now asking:
💰 How do I protect my money?
📈 Should I invest in stocks?
🏦 Are Treasury Bills better than savings?
💵 How do I hedge against inflation?
The market has gained new powers:
* Fintech innovation
* Growing retail investors
* Better access to investment products
* More financial education
But every superhero has villains.
Inflation reduces purchasing power.
FX uncertainty creates pressure.
Poor financial literacy leads to costly mistakes.
Lack of trust slows participation.
The lesson from Spider-Man is simple:
"With great power comes great responsibility.”
The future of Nigeria’s financial market will not be built by investors chasing quick wins. It will be built by informed investors, stronger institutions, and a generation that understands how money works.
The question is no longer:
“Does Nigeria have financial potential?”
The question is:
Are we ready to use our powers responsibly?

MARKET MYTH FRIDAY
Myth: "Oil is Nigeria`s only source of wealth."
For decades, oil has dominated conversations about Nigeria`s economy. But does that mean it`s our only source of wealth?
Not anymore.
Today, sectors like agriculture, technology, telecommunications, financial services, manufacturing, and the creative economy are driving innovation, creating jobs, and contributing significantly to economic growth.
Nigeria`s greatest asset isn`t just what`s beneath the ground it`s the people, businesses, and industries building the future.
In this week`s Market Myth Friday, Susan explains why looking beyond oil gives a clearer picture of where Nigeria`s real opportunities lie.
Which sector do you believe will shape Nigeria`s future the most? Tell us in the comments.
Save this post for future reference.
Share it with someone who still believes Nigeria is only about oil.

Marina Times Brief
Nigeria`s Treasury Bill market is telling an important story.
From January to July 2026, the market moved through three distinct phases:
Q1: Yields declined as liquidity improved and demand surged.
Q2: Stop rates stabilised, reflecting balanced market conditions and stronger confidence.
July: Yields climbed again as inflation concerns, liquidity conditions, and monetary policy expectations prompted participants to demand higher returns.
One trend remained constant throughout the period...
The 364-day Treasury Bill continued to dominate demand.
As inflation, liquidity management, and government borrowing continue to shape market conditions, Treasury Bills remain one of the key indicators to watch within Nigeria`s fixed-income landscape.
