Nigerian stocks fell for the second consecutive trading day on Tuesday as the main equity index lost 0.16 per cent after traders dumped a number of mid-cap stocks.

Tier-1 lender GTCO led the rout that left its share price only 5 kobo away from its lowest level in 52 weeks, while cement-maker WAPCO, UBA, Transcorp and Zenith also stoked the loss.

“Although we anticipate continued profit-taking, we also expect investors to begin bargain hunting by cherry-picking fundamentally sound stocks at a discount,” said analysts at brokerage firm and investment bank United Capital.

Market breadth, which measures the depth of investors’ sentiment towards trade, was negative as 26 losers emerged relative to 9 gainers. The all-share index fell 86.7 points to 53,113.6, while market capitalisation declined to N28.6 trillion.

The index is up 24.3 per cent so far this year.
