Trading in the NGX equities market maintained its bearish trend as the ASI declined further by -0.32% from its previous day figure of 43,245.02 basis points to close at 43,108.77 basis points.

HONEY FLOUR was the most traded stock by volume at 52.47 million units sold, followed by GTCO with 22.96 million shares and ZENITH BANK 22.9 million units sold.

While SEPLAT was the most traded stock by value at NGN1.18 billion taking up exactly 28.08% of the stocks traded. while GTCO and ZENITH BANK followed with NGN578million and NGN559million respectively.
