The Nigerian bourse closed the day’s trading in the positive, as the All Share Index and Market Capitalization rose by +0.57%, to close the week at 22,599.38 index points and N11.777 trillion respectively.

Activity level was mixed, with volume traded increasing mildly by 5.04% to 211.62 million units of shares, while value traded dropped by -33.47% to N2.234 billion, in 3,957 deals.

Guaranty Trust Bank shares were the most active to boost market turnover and value list.

Performance across sectors was bearish, except for the Banking index, buoyed by +1.22%, as UBN (+4.62%) and GUARANTY (+2.12%) gained.

the flip side, the Industrial, Insurance, and Consumer Goods indices shed points, dropping by -0.56%, -0.40%, and -0.29% respectively, as Dangote Cement, Wapic Insurance, and UACN Plc ended the week in the red, while the Insurance Index remained unchanged.
