The Nigerian stock market dipped by N52.1billion, as the market capitalisation of equities dropped from N14.70 trillion on monday to N14.65 trillion as at close of trading on Tuesday.

The All Share Index also depreciated by 0.35 per cent to close at 28,432.27 basis points while the year-to-date return dropped to 5.9 per cent.

Analysts attributed the development to the major price depreciation in banking stocks, which they believe led to sell-offs and that dragged the market lower.
