The nation’s bourse opened trading on Monday with a growth of N297 billion following gains by some highly capitalised stocks.

Specifically, the market capitalisation inched higher by N297 billion or 2.11 per cent to close at N14.402 trillion from N14.105 trillion recorded on Friday.

Similarly, the All-Share Index increased by 568.72 points or 2.11 per cent to close at 27,554.49 compared with 26,985.77 posted on Friday.

The upturn was impacted by gains recorded in large and medium capitalised stocks, amongst which are; Airtel Africa, Seplat, MTN Nigeria Communications (MTNN), Presco and Guinness.

Ambrose Omordion, the Chief Operating Officer, InvestData Ltd., attributed the sustained bullish trend to low returns offered by money market investments.

Mr Omordion said that investors were taking advantage of cheap prices of stocks, adding that most stocks were trading below their intrinsic value.

The market breadth closed positive with 36 gainers and 10 laggards.

GlaxoSmithKline and Red Star Express led the gainers’ chart in percentage terms, gaining 10 per cent each, to close at N5.50 and N3.30 per share, respectively.

NPF Microfinance Bank followed with 9.60 per cent to close at N1.37, while Africa Prudential improved by 9.47 per cent to close at N5.20 per share.
