The All-Share Index declined by 84.34 per cent, representing a loss of 0.08 per cent, to close at 99,840.95 points. Similarly, the overall market capitalisation value lost N48 billion to close at N56.479 trillion.
The market negative performance was driven by price depreciation in large and medium capitalised stocks which are; MTN Nigeria Communications (MTNN), Nigerian Breweries, FBN Holdings, United Bank for Africa (UBA) and FCMB Group.

Looking ahead, United Capital Plc said “we expect activities in the fixed income market to continue to stand as a strong demotivator toward equities investments. A strong hope for the market is the expected high base effect for inflation in June 2024.

“Given the indications that the equities market is considerably oversold, induced by the +750bps MPR hike year-to-date, we expect bargain-hunting in the equities market to remain unabated, particularly around fundamentally sound stocks (currently trading around their oversold region), and stocks with pending corporate actions.”

However, market breadth closed positive, as 40 stocks gained relative to 15 losers. University Press recorded the highest price gain of 10 per cent to close at N2.75, per share. Guinness Nigeria followed with a gain of 9.96 per cent to close at N66.25, while Champion Breweries increased by 9.83 per cent to close at N3.24, per share.
