Similarly, the market capitalisation which opened at N12.624 trillion shed N45 billion or 0.36 per cent to close at N12.579 trillion.

The downturn was impacted by losses recorded in large and medium capitalised stocks, amongst which are; Guaranty Trust Bank, Zenith Bank, GlaxoSmithKline, Access Bank and Africa Prudential.

Analysts at APT Securities and Funds Limited said the market would maintain a bearish outlook.

“We retain our opinion on a bearish outlook. We therefore advise for a mid to long term positioning as market technically are down at this time,” they said.

Arbico led the losers’ chart in percentage terms, dopping by 9.94 per cent, to close at N1.54, per share.

The total volume of transacted shares decreased by 9.96 per cent with an exchange of 208.20 million shares, worth N1.06 billion, achieved in 4,174 deals.
