The Nigerian Stock Exchange recorded a massive correction as stocks fell to its lowest level in nearly two months at the close of trading September 15th, 2017.

Reason for the decline

Investors surveyed by Nairametrics suggest the decline was attributed to a market correction as investors old off to pocket more profits. At a 30% gain, the Nigerian stock market is still one of the better performers around the world suggesting that there could be more room for sell-offs.

Some analysts also suggest that the tepid GDP Growth rate which confirmed Nigeria was out of recession may not have impressed some investors still waiting on the sidelines and those hoping to throw in more money into the market.

Data from the NSE also indicates that this week’s fall is also largely attributed to the 3.26% fall in the share price of Dangote Cement, the most capitalized stock on the exchange.
