Profit-taking particularly in big-cap industrial stocks on Friday ended the feeble recovery posted by the Nigerian bourse on Thursday as the bourse went down by 1.40 per cent or N166.515 billion.

This reversed the gain reported for Thursday trade and raising fears that a sustained rebound may still be far from a market that has recorded just one session of gain so far this month.

Livestock Feeds, NEM, BUA Cement, Sovereign Insurance and Dangote Cement drove the downbeat performance as huge volumes of shares in those stocks were up for sale.

The Industrial Goods Index declined by 4.55 per cent to 1,922.02 index points, the only sectorial index that depreciated.

The market posted a negative breadth as 15 gainers emerged against 22 losers.

The All Share Index (ASI) was up by 1.20 per cent at 37,893.61 index points. Market capitalisation climbed to N19.805 trillion.

Year to date, the index is up by 0.42 per cent.

TOP FIVE GAINERS

UACN Property topped the gainers’ chart, appreciating by 9.59% to close at N0.80. Linkage Assurance added 9.26% to end today’s trade at N0.59. Japaul Gold advanced by 9.23% to N0.71. Unity Bank rose to N0.71, notching up 9.23% in the process. African Alliance Insurance completed the top 5, climbing up by 9.09% to N0.24.

TOP FIVE LOSERS

Livestock Feeds led laggards, declining by 9.78% to close at N2.03. NEM shed 9.69% to end today’s trade at N2.05. BUA Cement fell to N73.30, losing 7.22%. Sovereign Trust slumped to N0.26, recording 7.14% depreciation. Royal Exchange closed at N220, going down by 3.51%.
