A negative market breadth was recorded with 30 laggards emerging against 10 advancers. The All Share Index declined to 40,212.19 index points and market capitalisation to N21.037 trillion.

Year to date, the index was down by -0.15 per cent.

RT Briscoe led gainers, appreciating by 10% to close at N0.22. Cornerstone went up 8.47% to N0.64. Royal Exchange rose to N0.27, notching up 8% in the process. NAHCO added 6.51% to end today’s trade at N2.29. Niger Insurance completed the top 5, climbing by 4.55% to N0.23.
