Nigeria Stock Exchange trading floor

Nigerian capital market slips further by N250billion

Trading activities at the Nigerian Stock Exchange for the fifth consecutive day on Friday, sustained a negative trend with the market capitalisation dropping by N250 billion.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the market capitalisation lost N250 billion or 3.0 per cent to close at N8.086 trillion, compared with N8.336 trillion on Thursday amid sales pressure.

The NSE All Share index dipped by 725.94 points or 3.0 per cent to close at 23,514.04 points from 24,239.98 points recorded on Thursday.

NAN reports that the volume of shares traded increased by 81.57 per cent due to sales pressure, with an exchange of 476.65 million shares valued N6.16 billion transacted in 4,448 deals.

This was in contrast with 262.52 million shares worth N2.41 billion exchanged in 2,579 deals on Thursday.

The NSE’s chief executive officer, Oscar Onyema, said the market trend was a reflection of the nation’s economic condition.

“The market is reflecting what is going on in the real economy,” Mr. Onyema said.

He said that the NSE would continue to position itself to be a credible platform for financing government deficit.

Mr. Onyema said the trend might likely continue with dwindling oil price and other challenging economic policies.
