Market breadth, a barometer for investors’ sentiment, was negative as there were 13 laggards against 10 gainers. The all-share index expanded 9.24 points to close at 38,810.75, while market capitalisation closed at N20.2 trillion.Transcorp Hotel led the gainers’ chart, appreciating by 9.80 per cent to close at N3.92.
