Following losses in Nigerian Breweries and 17 stocks, the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX) reopened on a bearish note yesterday, causing the All-Share Index (ASI) to depreciate by 0.07 per cent.
At the close of transactions yesterday, the All Share Index (ASI) decreased by 38.22 absolute points, representing a dip of 0.07 per cent to close at 51,791.45 points. Similarly, the market capitalisation lost N21 billion to close at N27.921 trillion.
The downturn was impacted by losses recorded in medium and large capitalised stocks, amongst which are; Nigerian Breweries, Conoil, Lafarge Africa, Red Star Express and Cutix Plc.
GTI Securities Limited noted “Equities market closed transaction for yesterday negative, as bargain hunting resumes. We expect cautious trading to continue in the week.”
Vetiva Dealing and Brokerage said: “Market breadth retreated to negative territory today, although buyers moderated the day’s loss as we continue to see mixed sectoral performance amid slight cherry-picking activities in the banking sector. We expect to have a similar trading pattern filter into tomorrow’s session.”
Also, market breadth closed negative, with 18 losers and 17 gainers. Fidson Healthcare recorded the highest price gain of 9.82 per cent to close at N12.30 kobo.

R.T. Briscoe Nigeria and Red Star Express followed with a decline of 9.09 per cent each to close at 40 kobo and N2.50
