Trading on the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX) sustained a rising profile at the end of yesterday’s transactions, as gains in Presco, 31 stocks lifted the All-share index by 0.2 per cent.

Specifically, at the close of transactions yesterday, the All-Share Index (ASI) rose by 79.31 points, representing an increase of 0.2 per cent to close at 52,917.76 points while the overall market capitalisation value gained N42 billion to close at N28.528 trillion.

The upturn was impacted by gains recorded in medium and large capitalised stocks, amongst which are; Presco, Okomu Oil, Lafarge Africa, Flour Mills of Nigeria and Ardova.

GTI Securities Limited said “Stock market continues its impressive run for the second consecutive day. We expect the bargain hunting to persist, as more investors are positioned to hedge against rising inflation.”

Investdata Consulting Limited said: “We expect the bulls to continue on increasing position-taking as the market reacted to Airtel Africa’s full-year result and portfolio rotations as market players digest the better-than-expected Q1 corporate earnings released, ahead of March year-end 2022 audited financials with dividend announcements to support an uptrend in the new month amid the rebound in oil prices.”
