The All Share Index (ASI) decreased by 25.95 absolute points, representing a dip of 0.05 per cent to close at 49,344.67 points. Similarly, the market capitalisation lost N14 billion  to close at N26.615 trillion.

The downturn was impacted by losses recorded in medium and large capitalised stocks, amongst which are; Nigerian Exchange Group (NGXGroup), Ecobank Transnational Incorporated (ETI), Africa Prudential, MRS Oil Nigeria and Lasaco Assurance Plc.

This week, United Capital Plc expected the local bourse to continue broadly bearish as investors continue to sit on the sidelines and switch assets given attractive yields in fixed income instruments.

“Also, we anticipate that investors and fund managers will continue to cherry-pick stocks with strong underlying fundamentals,” it stated.
