The All Share Index (ASI) decreased by 419.93 absolute points, representing a decline of 0.83 per cent to close at 49,950.32 points. Similarly, the market capitalisation lost N227 billion, and closed at N26.936 trillion.

The downturn was impacted by losses recorded in medium and large capitalised stocks, amongst which are; BUA Cement, UAC of Nigeria (UACN), International Breweries, May & Baker Nigeria and Neimeth International Pharmaceuticals.

GTI Securities Limited said: “equity market closed trading activities for yesterday bearish due to sell-off in blue-chip stocks such as BUA Cement and 13 others. However, we expect slight recovery this week as investors continue to react to companies second quarter (Q2) performance release.”

However, market breadth closed positive, with 21 gainers versus 14 losers. Courteville Business Solutions and Caverton Offshore Support Group recorded the highest price gain of 10 per cent each to close at 44 kobo and N1.10 respectively, while Champion Breweries followed with a gain of 9.59 per cent to close at N4.00, per share.
