A total turnover of 1.1 billion shares worth N28.7 billion was recorded in 21,921 deals by investors on the floor of the exchange, down from a total of 3.7 billion units valued at N57.9 that was exchanged in 40,726 deals on April 5, 2014. Vetiva Dealing and Brokerage said: “ASI lost 71bps on Friday as investors continue to sell down the banks. Given this week’s bearish performance, we are likely to see moderate losses in that sector, as the market opens the week on a cautious note.”

FMDQ Securities Exchange said the week-on-week decrease in the total turnover was driven by fewer business days during the week-ended April 12, 2024, resulting in the 48.6 per cent and 40.5 per cent decreases in FX spot and FX derivatives turnover, respectively.Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
