NSE lists FBNQuest Merchant Bank’s N5bn bond

Investors refrained from high trading on the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange yesterday as they wait to see the direction of the economy in the face of mounting Coronavirus pandmic cases. Equities shed a total of N38bn at the end of trading.

Both the NSE all share index and market capitaisation fell as a result. The market breadth closed negative as 26 losers emerged while 11 firms recorded gains.

The NSE All-Share Index dropped by 0.29 per cent as bargain hunters continued profit-taking.

The banking subsector was boosted by the activities on the shares of Guaranty Trust Bank Plc and Ecobank Plc, with 20.04 million units traded in 595 deals.

Investors exchanged a total of 124.68 million shares in 3,843 deals on Monday.
