The Nigerian stock market yesterday commenced the trading week on a bearish note as losses in Nestle Nigeria Plc and 23 others dragged the overall capitalization lower by N22 billion.

The All-Share Index (ASI) lost 33.72 points, representing a loss of 0.03 per cent to close at 104,529.62 points. Also, market capitalisation shed N22 billion to close at N65.685 trillion.

The downturn was driven by price depreciation in large and medium capitalised stocks amongst which are; Nestle Nigeria, Fidelity Bank, Oando, United Bank for Africa (UBA) and Africa Prudential.

Looking forward, United Capital Plc said, “the equities market might remain dovish due to elevated interest rate environment in the fixed-income market, we still expect bearish sentiments to linger in the background.

“The upcoming Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) decision in May has led some investors to adopt a wait-and-see attitude towards the equities market. Concurrently, retail investors are engaging in profit-booking, resulting in selloffs that impede the consistent upward movement of stock prices.”
