The All Share Index (ASI) rose by 37.37 absolute points, representing a gain of 0.07 per cent to close at 54,364.67 points. Accordingly, investors gained N20 billion in value as market capitalisation went up to N29.611 trillion.

The upturn was impacted by gains recorded in medium and large capitalised stocks, amongst which are; Conoil, MRS Oil Nigeria, Vitafoam Nigeria, Lafarge Africa and Zenith Bank.

This week, United Capital Plc said “we expect the depressed interest rate environment to continue to favour the equities market in line with our expectations for Q1, 2023.

“We note that the profit-taking activities seen during the week serve as a caution to market participants as the bears may fully resume.”
