Investors Trade Cautiously As Market Continues Bearish Run

Specifically, the market capitalisation lost N1 billion to close at N19.724 trillion as the All-Share Index dropped 0.65 points to close at 37,857.24.

Investor interest in major stocks diminished as there was price depreciation in large and medium capitalised companies such as Custodian Investment, FBN Holdings, PZ Cussons Nigeria, Zenith Bank, and Guaranty Trust Holding Company (GTCO).

However, the market closed on a positive note with 17 gainers against 13 laggards.

NCR championed the gainers’ chart in percentage terms with 9.64 percent to close at N2.73 per share.

Wema Bank followed closely with 9.46 percent to close at 81kobo, while FTN Cocoa Processors grew by 8.33 percent to close at 39kobo per share.

NPF Microfinance Bank rose by 6.88 percent to close at N1.71, while Lasaco Assurance gained 6.67per cent to close at N1.60 per share.

On the other hand, Ikeja Hotel led the losers’ chart in percentage terms by 9.09 percent to close at N1.40 per share.
