The domestic stock market yesterday began the week on a mixed note as the All-Share Index edged down by 0.04 per cent.

The All-Share Index (ASI) lost by 41.70 points, representing a loss of 0.04 per cent to close at 105,891.33 points. Despite this decline, market capitalisation surged by 0.73 per cent or N477 billion to close at N66.069 trillion.
The market capitalisation gain is driven by Zenith Bank’s listing of 9.67 billion ordinary shares, arising from its capital offers.

Meanwhile, the overall downturn was impacted by losses recorded in medium and large capitalised stocks, amongst which are; Julius Berger Nigeria, Zenith Bank, United Bank for Africa (UBA), Fidelity Bank and Guaranty Trust Holding Company (GTCO).

Looking forward, United Capital Plc said “the equities market is expected to maintain its positive momentum as investors continue to position themselves ahead of the full year, 2024 earnings season and possible corporate action declarations.

Nevertheless, given the elevated interest rate environment in the fixed-income market, we still expect bearish sentiments to linger in the background.”
