Market Summary (Losers’
Session)
The Nigerian stock market witnessed a mild bearish tone today as profit-taking
dominated trading activity across key sectors, particularly Oil & Gas and Insurance.
Major drag came from CONOIL (-8.6%), leading losses after previous strong
rallies, while smaller counters such as JULI, MANSARD, and THOMASWY saw modest sell-offs amid low investor
participation.
The Insurance sector remained pressured, with names like ROYAL Exchange, GUINEAINS, and UNIVINSURE all edging lower. On the other hand, broader market sentiment stayed cautious as investors repositioned ahead of potential earnings releases.
