📝 Summary of the Decline on NGX

The Nigerian Exchange (NGX) closed mixed with a notable downturn across major industrial and banking sectors. Market sentiment turned cautious, reflecting investors’ profit-taking behavior after several sessions of gains.

Heavyweights like WAPCO (-5.45%) and FIRSTHOLDCO (-1.05%) drove the bearish tone, as investors booked profits amid weaker outlooks and subdued institutional demand.
In the insurance sector, mild pullbacks in CORNERST and INTENEGINS suggest short-term consolidation after a period of accumulation.

Microfinance and mid-tier banks, such as LIVINGTRUST and NPFMCRFBK, also saw slight corrections, reflecting cautious repositioning ahead of the next earnings cycle.
