Sell-off in most blue-chip stocks, especially in that of Guaranty Trust Bank and Unilever, forced transactions on the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX) to reopen on a downward note yesterday, as the All-Share Index (ASI) depreciated by 0.10 per cent.

Specifically, at the close of transactions yesterday, the All-Share Index dropped by 39.70 absolute points, representing a decline of 0.10 per cent to close at 38,686.40 points while market capitalisation declined by N21 billion to close at N20.164 trillion.
