However, activity level reversed its previous decline as total volumes and values exchanged improved by 34.66% and 17.56% respectively to 167.89 million units and 1.54 billion.

Market sentiment, as measured by market breadth, was negative as 23 tickers declined, relative to 9 gainers. DANGSUGAR and NEIMEITH were the top losers of the day with -9.85% and 9.35% declines; while UACN-PROP and TRANSCORP recorded the largest gains with +7.69% and +2.86% appreciations in share value.

Performance across sectors mirrored the broad index. All indexes closed in the negative terrain with the exception of the Oil & Gas Index which closed as the lone gainer.

The price decline in DANGSUGAR (-9.85%) and NB (-2.70%) dragged the Consumer Goods Index down by -1.38%.

The decline in AIICO, LASACO, and MANSARD resulted in the Insurance Index shedding -1.27%. The Banking and Oil & Industrial index followed, lowered by -0.60% and -0.18% due to price wane in ETI (-5.10%), FIDELITY (-2.81%), and WAPCO (-2.22%). Conversely, gains in OANDO (+2.04%) spurred the Energy index to grow +0.22

Outlook  

Nigerian bourse closed slightly neutral on Tuesday, as the bullish run in Brent crude got capped by the resurgence of COVID-19 cases in Nigeria, with many investors remaining on the sideline.

Nairametrics recommends you seek the counsel of a certified financial advisor, when picking stocks, with geopolitical uncertainty strengthening.
