The Nigerian equity market concluded its recent four-day upward trend, witnessing a marginal decline of 0.09 per cent in its performance indices. This dip was primarily influenced by a sell-off in Tier-one banking stocks, resulting in a loss of N37 billion in market capitalisation.

Closing the trading session, the market capitalisation stood at N39.612 trillion, down from N39.649 trillion recorded on the previous trading day. Similarly, the All-Share Index fell by 66.6 points or 0.09 per cent, settling at 72,389.23 basis points compared to the previous close of 72,455.83.

The downturn in market performance was attributed to profit-taking activities in banking stocks such as United Bank for Africa (UBA), Access Holdings, and First Bank of Nigeria Holdings (FBNH), among others.

Guaranty Trust Holding (GTCo) took the lead in transaction volume with 51.10 billion units, while Zenith Bank topped the chart in value with transactions amounting to 91.24 billion.

In terms of gainers, Cadbury recorded a significant increase, climbing by 9.93 per cent to close at N16.05 per share. Following suit, Northern Nigeria Flour Mills (NNFM) saw a gain of 9.93 per cent, closing at N38.78 per share. Johnholt rose by 9.85 per cent to close at N0.26 per share, while Infinity and UPDC Real Estate Investment Trust (UPDCREIT) gained 9.73 per cent and 9.64 per cent, respectively.
