The All-Share Index rose by 856.31 per cent, representing a gain of 0.79 per cent, to close at 109,884.93 points. Similarly, the overall market capitalisation value gained N540 billion to close at N69.292 trillion.

The market positive performance was driven by price appreciation in large and medium capitalised stocks which are; Aradel Holdings, BUA Foods, Nigerian Aviation Handling Company (NAHCO), Zenith Bank and First Holdco.

Looking forward, United Capital said “the equities market is likely to remain cautious and mixed, with limited upside. There might be pockets of buy interest in resilient corporates and value plays.

“Retail activity may support mid and small-cap stocks temporarily, but institutional follow-through will be limited due to potential participation at the upcoming bond auction.

“Market may stay within the current range barring any positive catalyst from the macros. Short-term traders might stay on the sidelines or move to fixed income for an attractive yield. Investors may portray selective interest in defense, rotating into consumer staples, telcos, and banks with solid outlooks. Overall, the outlook for the week is neutral to mildly bullish, with macroeconomic stability and corporate performance remaining key drivers.”
