    As price gains outweighed losses, transactions on the equities sector of the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX) closed in an upbeat yesterday, causing market capitalisation to increase by N15 billion.

    Yesterday, the market capitalisation of listed equities increased by N15 billion to N20.568 trillion from N20.533 trillion reported the previous day.

    The All Share Index (ASI) which measures the performance of quoted companies appreciated by 27.36 basis points to 39477.18 points from 39449.82 points reported yesterday.

    Investors traded 186.326 million shares valued at N1.793 billion in 3595 deals against 198.331 million shares worth N1.056 billion exchanged hands in 3336 deals.

    Analysts at Vetiva Dealings and Brokerage said: “With lukewarm activity levels persisting in the market, we expect a similarly mixed session tomorrow as investors continue to favor small to mid-cap names. However, with the downward trajectory seen in the NTB space, discerning investors might turn their attention to fundamentally sound names in the equities market.”
