The All-Share Index (ASI) gained 388.83 points, representing a gain of 0.59 per cent to close at 66,770.97 points. Also, market capitalisation rose by N213 billion to close at N36.544 trillion.

The upturn was driven by price appreciation in large and medium capitalised stocks amongst which are; BUA Cement, Beta Glass, UAC of Nigeria (UACN), Oando and Guaranty Trust Holding Company (GTCO).

This week, United Capital Plc said: “we expect to see investors taking positions in anticipation of the Q3, 2023 earnings season. Investors will continue cherry-picking activities around fundamentally sound stocks with a preference to companies that have posted strong results in the first half of the year.”

However, market breadth was negative, as 27 stocks lost relative to 24 gainers. BUA Cement emerged the highest price gainer of 9.94 per cent to close at N94.00, while Beta Glass and FTN Cocoa Processors followed with a gain of 9.93 per cent each to close at N66.95 and N1.66 respectively, per share.
