Transactions on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) returned to negative territory on Thursday with the market capitalisation dropping N21 billion.

Specifically, the market capitalisation which opened trading at N13.027 trillion, shed N21 billion or 0.16 per cent to close at N13.006 trillion.

Market watchers stated that the stock market would remain highly volatile in the interim as the realities of COVID-19 remain prevalent.
