The All-Share Index (ASI) gained 83.31 points, representing a gain of 0.08 per cent to close at 106,621.91 points. Also, market capitalisation rose by N52 billion to close at N66.769 trillion.

The upturn was driven by price appreciation in large and medium capitalised stocks amongst which are; Transnational Corporation, Eterna, Africa Prudential, Dangote Sugar Refinery and MRS Oil Nigeria.

Looking forward, United Capital Plc said “the equities market is expected to close positive 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.”
