The All Share Index (ASI) lost 92.77 points, representing a loss of 0.09 per cent to close at 101,995.53 points. Also, market capitalisation declined by N50 billion to close at N55.811 trillion.

The downturn was impacted by losses recorded in medium and large capitalised stocks, amongst which are; Nestle Nigeria, Presco, Dangote Sugar Refinery, Eterna and Fidson Healthcare.

This week, United Capital Plc said ‘we anticipate the bearish sentiments amongst investors to persist in the local equities market given the recent developments in the fixed-income market.

The impact of the high yields in the fixed-income market will continue to drive sell-offs as investors switch their asset classes to less risky assets.
