Vetiva Dealings and Brokerage analysts said: “Asides from the positive activity in the banking sector, the top four trades by volume were all Tier-I banks, as investors continue to favour counters in that space. We expect this trade pattern to filter into tomorrow’s trading session.” Champion Breweries appreciated by 6.22 per cent to close at N4.78 kobo. Vitafoam gained 6.09 per cent to close at N20.90 kobo. International Energy appreciated by 4.03 per cent to close at N1.29 kobo.
