This slight gain pushed the market’s year-to-date return to 45.21%. Meanwhile, the total market capitalisation increased by N13.53 billion, closing at N95.28 trillion.
The market’s marginal gains were supported by renewed buying interest in select large and mid-cap stocks, most notably GUINNESS (+9.98%), CUSTODIAN (+7.84%), and SOVRENINS (+9.89%).
