In a continuation of bearish sentiment, the local equities market yesterday witnessed a decline of N58 billion.

Also, the July headline inflation increased by 129bps (when compared with the previous month) to 24.08 per cent. The significant uptick in headline inflation can be attributed to spikes in the prices of PMS on the back of the subsidy removal as well as the forex liberalization policy.

The All-Share Index declined by 107.39 per cent, representing a loss of 0.17 per cent, to close at 64,928.98 points. Similarly, the overall market capitalisation value shed N58 billion to close at N35.357 trillion.

The market negative performance was driven by price depreciation in large and medium capitalised stocks which are; Nestle Nigeria, Eterna, Dangote Sugar Refinery, Unilever Nigeria and UAC of Nigeria (UACN).
