Opening the week, Nigerian equities yesterday extended gains from last week as the market capitalisation closed N81 billion stronger on buying interests in MTN Nigeria Communications (MTNN) Plc and 15 others.

The All Share Index (ASI) rose by 154.65 absolute points, representing a gain of 0.29 per cent to close at 53,157.83 points. Accordingly, investors gained N81 billion in value as market capitalisation went up to N29.609 trillion.

The upturn was impacted by gains recorded in medium and large capitalised stocks, amongst which are; MTNN, Nigerian Exchange Group, Industrial & Medical Gases Nigeria, United Capital, Lafarge Africa and Oando.

This week, United Capital Plc, said: “we expect the bourse’s broad-based bullish run to continue as investors’ risk-on sentiments continue to prevail amid decent earnings performance and a depressed yield environment in the money market.
