It was a brief trading week due to the two days public holiday declared by the federal government in commemoration of the Eid el-Kabir celebrations. It was, however, enough for the stock market to stage a come-back from its bearish session in the previous week.
The Nigeria equities market ended the week on a positive note as the All-share index, which is the benchmark index in measuring the performance of the market gained 1.9% to close at N38,667.9 points, moderating the year-to-date performance to -3.98%.
This is according to the weekly market report, released by the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX) for the week ended 23rd July 2021.
