The All Share Index (ASI) rose by 125.30 points, representing a gain of 0.13 per cent to close at 99,665.05 points. Accordingly, market capitalisation gained by N71 billion to close at N56.367 trillion.
The upturn was impacted by gains recorded in medium and large capitalised stocks, amongst which are; Guaranty Trust Holding Company (GTCO), Zenith Bank, Unilever Nigeria, Lafarge Africa and Transnational Corporations (Transcorp).

This week, United Capital Plc said “we expect activities in the fixed income market to continue to stand as a strong demotivator toward equities investments. We expect the status quo to remain same, with bearish sentiments outweighing. From an alternate viewpoint, we expect bargain hunting activities to lurk in the shadows, owing to the tremendous opportunities presented by the recent bearish trend (particularly around the banks).”

As measured by market breadth, market sentiment was negative, as 26 stocks gained relative to 19 losers. Japaul Gold & Ventures recorded the highest price gain of 9.58 per cent to close at N1.83, per share. GTCO followed with a gain of 9.55 per cent to close at N36.70, while FTN Cocoa Processors rose by 8.76 per cent to close at N1.49, per share.

Universal Insurance went up by 8.57 per cent to close at 38 kobo, while RT Briscoe Nigeria appreciated by 8.47 per cent to close at 64 kobo, per share.
