The session reflected a divergence between the overall market performance and the movement of individual equities. Although the ASI and market capitalisation recorded marginal losses, the higher number of advancing stocks suggested that buying interest remained active across several counters.
The unchanged positions of major equities, including MTN Nigeria Communications, Seplat Energy, Presco and Custodian Investment, further reflected mixed trading activity during the session.
Investors will be watching whether the positive market breadth translates into a recovery in the benchmark index in subsequent sessions. Sustained advances across more equities could help strengthen the market, while continued weakness in selected large-cap stocks may keep the ASI under pressure.
