The Nigerian All-Share Index crossed the 130,000 threshold for the first time on July 17, 2025, rising by 1,316.8 points to close at 130,283.8, boosted by strong gains in cement stocks and FIRSTHOLDCO.

This marks a 1.02% gain from the previous day’s close of 128,967.1, despite a slight decline in trading volume.

Market participation eased somewhat, as daily volume slipped to 1.19 billion shares, down from 1.24 billion shares exchanged in the prior session.
