A five-day gaining streak on the Nigerian stock market came to halt on Monday as profit-taking efforts in the shares of Dangote Cement, Flour Mills, Guinness, FBN Holdings and NASCON accounted for the most loss.

Speculators saw the substantial gain recorded throughout last week as a chance to recoup their investment even though this came at a cost to the bourse, with the day’s loss coming to N39.535 billion.

The consumer goods sector was worst hit by the downtrend of the five sectorial indices as it slid by 0.62% to 602.71 index points, further aiding losses.

The All Share Index (ASI) dipped by 0.23% to close at 41,082.38 index points. Market capitalisation slipped to N21.491 trillion.

Year to date, the index is up by 2.02%.

RT Briscoe led the flock of gainers, appreciating by 10% to close at N0.22. Trans-Nationwide Express added up 10% to end trade at N0.88. Universal Insurance went up by 10% to N0.22. African Alliance Insurance rose to N0.22, notching up 10% in the process. Cadbury completed the top 5, climbing by 10% to N10.45.
