December 10, 2019 by

Trinidad & Tobago Stock Exchange Head Quarters

The Trinidad & Tobago Stock Exchange is ending the current year on a strong note with the three leading indices up on last year’s performance and seems set to close out 2019 much higher than the previous year.

Some stocks point to that development, with prices set to break higher. These stocks include First Citizens Bank, Guardian Holdings, Republic Holdings, Massy Holdings, NCB Group and West Indian Tobacco.
IC bid-offer Indicator| The Investor’s Choice bid-offer ended at Five stocks with bids higher than their last selling prices and one with a lower offer and is flashing positive signals of the fortune of the market ahead.
