Nigerian Equity Market

The performance of the Nigerian Equity Market remained bearish last week with the index (NSE ASI) trending downward by 1.78% WTD to close at an index level of 29,212.00 and Market capitalisation of N10.98 trillion.

The Market sentiment was mixed, as profit taking was seen on first two trading days while the last 2 trading days witnessed bargain hunting. All sectors closed negative with
the exception of two sectors: Oil/Gas and Insurance Index rose by 0.02% and 1.30% respectively. The industrial Goods Sector recorded the highest decline, down by 4.16% owing to price depreciation in DANGCEM (-3.69%).

This continuous bearish move in the Nigerian Equity Market could be attributed to negative earnings reports released by some companies during the week. DANGCEM’s Q1 profit was
down by 16% YoY.
