Punch||Bank stocks fell on Wednesday as investors continue to exit the banking sub-sector of the financial services sector of the Nigerian Stock Exchange.

Their action was being propelled by the likely negative impact of the increase of the Cash Reserve Requirement of Deposit Money Banks by the Central Bank of Nigeria.

The increase of the CRR to 75 per cent from 50 per cent on Tuesday, January 22 had caused bank stocks to fall the next day due to what analysts said was panic action by investors over the likely impact of the decision.

While the stocks recovered a day after with many rising as several investors chose to maintain their positions for a while, many investors have bowed to selling pressure this week, causing the stocks to fall.

On Wednesday equities declined, extending a losing streak, which started on Monday to the third consecutive day.
