NGX market cap gains on first trading day

After a bearish performance in the previous week, the local bourse yesterday opened on a positive trend with the market eking out 5 basis points (bps) to settle at 98,176.58 points.

Sustained investors’ interest in MTNN (+2.68%), and renewed interest in TRANSCOHOT (+3.03%) were the primary drivers of the overall market’s performance, according to analysis by Coronation Registrars.

The investor’s interest offset sell pressures in GTCO (-1.38%), ZENITHBANK (-3.05%) and FBNH (-0.22%).
