Following losses suffered by many bluechip stocks, especially Nigerian Breweries (NB) and MTN Nigeria (MTNN), negative sentiments persisted on the equities sector of the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX) yesterday, as market capitalisation depreciated further by N49 billion.

The All-Share Index (ASI) fell by 88.71 points, representing a decline of 0.17 per cent to close at 52,207.77 points. Accordingly, investors lost N49 billion in value as market capitalisation declined to N28.427 trillion.

The downturn was driven by price depreciation in large and medium capitalised stocks amongst which are Nigerian Breweries, MTNN, Nigerian Exchange Group Group, Union Bank of Nigeria and Fidson Healthcare.

Analysts at Vetiva Dealings and Brokerage said, “we still expect mixed trading to continue, as investors move in and out of these stocks, amid banking sector dominating market activity partly fueled by dividend re-investment.”

As measured by market breadth, market sentiment was positive, as 22 stocks gained relative to 18 losers. Ardova emerged the highest price gainer of 9.25 per cent to close at N18.30 kobo, per share.
