    The Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX) reversed previous gains to close on a negative note yesterday, causing the All-Share Index (ASI) to plunge by 0.03 per cent. The bearish performance was buoyed by investors’ profit-taking sentiment across major sectors.

    Specifically, the ASI dropped by 10.68 points, representing a decrease of 0.03 per cent, to close at 39,449.82 points. Similarly, the overall market capitalisation lost N6 billion to close at N20.554 trillion.

    The market’s negative performance was driven by price depreciation in large and medium capitalised stocks which are: Dangote Sugar Refinery, Guaranty Trust Bank Holding Company (GTCO), Pharma Deko, Zenith Bank and Oando.

    Analysts at Afrinvest Limited said: “ In the next trading session, we expect to see profit-taking activities dominate the market in the absence of any positive catalyst.”

    Transcorp Hotels went up by 9.30 per cent to close at N4.70 kobo while UACN Property Development Company (UPDC) appreciated by 9.22 per cent to close at N1.54 kobo.
