The All-Share Index (ASI) shed 1,320.52 points, representing a decline of 1.36 per cent to close at 95,779.79 points, the lowest point since January 22, 2024. Also, market capitalisation dipped by N750 billion to close at N54.382 trillion.

The downturn was driven by price depreciation in large and medium capitalised stocks amongst which are; Dangote Cement, Beta Glass, Dangote Sugar Refinery, Nigerian Breweries and Africa Prudential.

Looking forward, United Capital Plc said “the equities market is expected to show mixed performance as investors adopt opportunistic investment strategies. We foresee selective buying of fundamentally strong stocks continuing into the week.

“Market activity is anticipated to rise due to ongoing banks’ recapitalization efforts and anticipated corporate actions in the near term.

Conversely, elevated interest rates in the fixed income market are likely to exert a negative pressure on the equities market as investors capitalise on higher fixed income yields. Overall, fund managers and investors are advised to maintain an opportunistic approach to capitalise on prevailing market opportunities.”

 

However, market breadth closed positive, as 31 stocks gained relative to 17 losers. Skyway Aviation Handling Company, Cutix and R. T. Briscoe Nigeria emerged the highest price gainer of 10 per cent each to close at N26.40, N2.64 and N1.87 respectively, per share.
