Nairametrics reports that this momentum has instilled optimism for a potentially bullish market in 2024, bringing the All-Share index up by 6.54% to close at 79,664.66 points.

Similarly, all other indices finished higher except NGX Growth and NGX Sovereign Bond Indices which depreciated by 6.38% and 1.21% respectively, while the NGX ASeM index closed flat.

Market analysts have said that the stock market has been quite eventful and bullish in 2023, and can reasonably project further improvement in 2024, as more companies approach the market for listing and public offerings.

Available statistics to the Nairametrics showed that the All-Share Index, which is the broad index that measures the performance of Nigerian stocks, opened the trading week at 74.773.77 index points at the beginning of trading on January 2, 2024, and closed at 79.664.66 points at the end the week on January 5th, gaining 4,890.89 basis points or 6.54%.
