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.
