The All-Share Index (ASI) and Market Capitalisation dipped by 1.98%, to close at 249,710.59 points and ₦162.13 trillion, respectively. The decline was largely driven by profit-taking in select blue-chip stocks, notably DANGCEM (-9.80%), UACN (-7.85%) and PRESCO (-0.16%).
Market breadth stood at 0.56x, with 36 decliners against 20 advancers, indicating a slightly bearish market as losses outnumbered gains.
Trading activity picked up notably, with total volume and value traded rising by 55.03% and 97.76%, respectively, while the number of deals inched up by 1.55%. The rise in turnover reflects active profit-taking in blue-chip stocks supported by broader investor participation.
Across sectors, the Financial Services sector remained the dominant contributor to trading value, accounting for 75.56% of total turnover. The Industrial Goods and Oil and Gas sectors followed, contributing 6.42% and 6.04%, respectively.
