Also, the All-Share Index (ASI) dipped 133.45 points or 0.54 per cent to close at 24,650.16 against 24,783.61 recorded on Monday.

The downturn was impacted by losses recorded in large and medium capitalised stocks, amongst which are; Seplat, Total, MTN Nigeria Communications (MTNN), Julius Berger and Guaranty Trust Bank.

Analysts at Afrinvest Limited believed the performance of the market this week would be largely dictated by the trend in earnings released in the market.
