The Nigerian equities market continued to endure bearish sentiment during the just-concluded trading week losing N532 billion on the floor of the Nigerian Xchange (NGX).
This made it the fourth consecutive week of losses in the equities market.
The equities market gained in only one of the five trading sessions as the market capitalization decreased to N65.820 trillion from the N66.352 trillion recorded the previous week while the All-Share Index (ASI) depreciated by 0.94% to close the week at 104,962.96 points from 105. 955.13 points recorded the previous week.
Amid the poor showing of the market, stocks like Neimeth International Pharmaceuticals Plc, Linkage Assurance Plc and New Nigerian Flour Mills Plc performed creditably well to position themselves as stocks to watch in the new week.
