Specifically, sell-offs in FBN Holdings, United Bank For Africa and Access Corporation, Fidelity Bank, Transnational Corporation, Nigerian Breweries, WAPCO, ETranzact, among other declined stocks, drove the market’s weak performance.
Reacting, a Stockbroker with Global View Capital Ltd., Mr Haruna Kebira, said that trading on the Exchange was not usually affected by such national industrial actions, except public holidays declared by the Federal Government. He stated that the bullish run that dominated the equity market last week was a result of month-end effect activities.“The month of June is usually positive for the market because investors who just received their dividends are investing back into the market, so the market will surely bounce back,” Kebira said.
Oando followed by 9.75 per cent to close at N12.95, Veritas Kapital Assurance rose by 8.47 per cent to close at 64k and RTBriscoe gained 8.33 per cent to close at 52k per share.
