🧾 Market Summary (Losers)

Today’s market saw moderate declines across key sectors, led by CONOIL (-11.8%), which weighed heavily on the oil and gas index following recent profit-taking from sharp rallies. The financial services and insurance sectors also faced mild corrections, as seen in AFRIPRUD, NEM, and SOVRENINS, suggesting cautious investor sentiment after sustained upward trends in prior sessions.

The banking segment recorded mild dips in STERLINGNG and LIVINGTRUST, reflecting market-wide adjustments rather than fundamental weakness. Meanwhile, JAPAULGOLD and ELLAHLAKES pulled back due to sector-specific volatility in commodities and agriculture.

Overall, the session indicates a short-term consolidation phase, as investors reassess positions after recent market strength — with defensive reallocation expected in the coming days.
