The domestic bourse, however, recorded 23 gainers and 16 losers; hence, the Year-to-Date gain of the ASI lowered to 3.21 per cent.

Notably, Monday’s decline was impacted by profit-taking in medium and large capitalised stocks.

Sectoral performance was weak, as four of the five indices tracked closed in red, save the NSE industrial index that rose by 0.05 per cent.

The banking, insurance, consumer goods and oil and gas indices fell by 2.68 per cent, 0.84 per cent, 0.26 per cent and 0.01 per cent respectively.

Meanwhile, activity in the market remained weak, as total volume of stocks declined by 29.43 per cent to 0.34 billion units, while total value of stocks also dipped by 52.68 per cent to N2.6bn.
