Nigerian Equities Drop To One-year Low After 1.29% Loss Thursday by dipoolowoo: 11:30pm On Aug 16, 2018
By Dipo Olowookere

For the first time in nearly a year, the All-Share Index (ASI) of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) dropped below the 35,000 mark on Thursday after losing 457.70 points to close at 34,618.43 points, the lowest point it has closed in more than one year.

Business Post reports that the last time the index slipped below 35,000 was on September 19, 2017 when it ended at 34,846.82 points, while it finished below today’s point on July 21, 2017 at 34,020.37 points.

It was observed that the market breadth remained negative despite the increase in market activities today on the trading floor of the exchange.

At the close of business, a total of 29 stocks depreciated in value, while only 16 equities managed to record price appreciation.

While the volume of shares transacted today rose by 13.49 percent to 237.8 million from 209.5 million, the value appreciated by 6.5 percent to N3.1 billion from N3 billion recorded yesterday.

Dangote Cement emerged as the day’s highest price loser after shedding N8 of its share value to settle at N206 per share. The stock has lost 10.43 percent this year alone with a 52-week low of N204.52k and 52-week high of N278.

Total Nigeria lost N7 today to close at N183 per share, while United Bank for Africa went down by 55 kobo to finish at N8.35k per share.

Newrest ASL Nigeria fell by 45 kobo to end at N4.05k per share, while NASCON depreciated by 30 kobo to close at N20 per share.

At the other side, Okomu Oil topped the gainers’ chart today after increasing by N1.45k to finish at N74.55k per share.

It was followed by Oando, which gained 40 kobo to close at N4.95k per share, and GTBank, which rose by 30 kobo to settle at N38.05k per share.

Portland Paints appreciated by 22 kobo today to end at N2.47k per share, while Axa Mansard garnered 15 kobo to close at N2.53k per share.

A look at the activity chart showed that the buying interest in the stock of United Bank for Africa continued today with a total of 36.5 million units worth N319.4 million transacted.

GTBank exchanged 23.5 million equities valued at N892.4 million, while FBN Holdings traded 21 million units of its stocks for N203.3 million.

Zenith Bank transacted 17.4 million shares worth N398.4 million, while International Breweries sold 13.1 million equities for N461.8 million.

Business Post reports that the equity capitalisation today recorded a loss of N167 billion to settle at N12.639 trillion.

With the huge loss recorded today, analysts at Business Post expect bargain-hunting to commence tomorrow because of the low prices stocks have fallen into.

I'd wanted to understand the in-depth meaning of all these financial/economical terms in the financial domain. I'm usually perplex anytime I'm watching the business news and seeing all these terms (especially, d meaning of dangote gain 1naira, gtb loose 5kobo and so on). I will appreciate if someone can prescribe a rudiment book to read on this. thanks

[b]The government is not making Nigeria business friendly!

Everywhere is just dry!

There is no level playing ground!

How can only one person have a monopoly of all the businesses

Other Entrepreneurs/business agitators are discouraged

Infact those who struggled or borrowed to put down a structure are frustrated economically undecided

There is no job but you are closing the existing ones undecided

Of recent is the issue between Yinka Aiyefele and OYO State government, do you know the number of people that would be affected if his radio station is demolished

He might have even collected loans from the bank, might even be still owing the bank and you want to pull down what he has struggled to build over the years An employer of labour that should be encouraged and even recognised for his efforts undecided undecided

I mean what is wrong with our system of governance in Nigeria

Once you are established with your struggled oooòoo and you don't support government political or you are not their dummy, they tend to frustrate you!

Forgetting that these are people together with the government are helping the country to grow

Okay is it these workers that are lay off will buy cement or save or invest

Sebi na person wey don see food chop go dey think about these things undecided

APC policies are killing this country! They need to change their strategy!

If they do not change their method, I am afraid that this is just the beginning!

Whatever it is should be encouraged not frustrated!

Workshop oooo, office, kiosk, shop all na business! The only difference is in it name!

At least one way or the other it employed other people thereby reducing the number of the unemployed on the hands of the government!

In a sane country, government makes employment of labour competitive by appreciating those who employed alot of her citizens!

Everything shouldn't be about politics!

Everybody cannot be and must not be a politician for them to have a sense of belonging in their country!

Everything shouldn't be politics all the time!

Live and let's live!

Because most Nigerians are dead brained mofos


The political uncertainty in the country is driving investors out.

It's bad enough that the "safe havens" (USA Swiss, Japan etc) are looking more attractive to invest in, the political uncertainty and APC heating up this country is making matters worse


In addition, CBN is covering up this mass forex exodus by using more and more dollars to shore up the value of the naira

Quick question : when was the last time you heard this govt brag about growing the foreign reserves?
That should explain it.

And with oil prices uncertain, how long will the cbn continue to cover up ?

.Nigeria is fvcked and it's dumb and useless populace do not know


They are busy shouting APC and Saraki



When the ASI slips below 30,000 points which is sure to happen, then Nigeria will know the big shit they are in

Bro, with the way things are going, the index might even go below 30,000. There is panic everywhere and with the dirty politics ongoing, it is natural for investors to "ja paa" (run).

Normally, foreign reserves shouldn't be what government should brag about, but the Excess Crude Account, which is actually what we have as savings. But those who know, know.
