The All-Share Index (ASI) lost 36.66 points, representing a decline of 0.04 per cent to close at 100,020.83 points. Also, market capitalisation declined by N21 billion to close at N56.581 trillion.

The downturn was driven by price depreciation in large and medium capitalised stocks amongst which are; NGX Group, Fidson Healthcare, Zenith Bank, NASCON Allied Industries and UAC of Nigeria (UACN).
Looking ahead, United Capital Plc said “the equities market would be mixed as investors explore opportunistic investment strategy. Thus, we anticipate cherry picking of fundamentally sound stocks to persist in the week ahead. Similarly, market activities will increase due to ongoing banks recapitalization, Q2-filing, and envisaged corporate actions in the weeks ahead.

“Conversely, elevated interest rates in the fixed income market are expected to continue to negatively impact the equities market in the week as investors continue to take advantage of high interest rates in the fixed income space.

“Overall, fund managers and investors should continue to adopt an opportunistic investment strategy to take advantage of opportunities the market presents at each given time.”
