The All Share Index (ASI) rose by 98.67 absolute points, representing a gain of 0.20 per cent to close at 49,414.96 points. Accordingly, investors gained N54 billion in value as market capitalisation went up to N26.915 trillion.

The upturn was impacted by gains recorded in medium and large capitalised stocks, amongst which are; BUA Foods, Guaranty Trust Holding Company (GTCO), Fidson Healthcare, International Breweries and Pharma-Deko Plc.

This week, analysts at United Capital Plc anticipated profit booking activities from short-term investors as they seek to close out positions in strong-performing stocks in the past weeks as bullish momentum shows signs of stuttering, saying, “lso, portfolio rebalancing is another key activity to watch out for from investors as we approach the end of the year.”

As measured by market breadth, market sentiment was positive, as 14 stocks gained relative to 10 losers. Thomas Wyatt Nigeria recorded the highest price gain of 8.77 per cent to close at 62 kobo, per share.
