Ngx Trading Recovers As Investors Gain N310bn

The Nigerian Exchange Limited investors gained N310bn at the close of trading on Wednesday as the benchmark All-Share Index rose 0.35 per cent.

The market capitalisation of listed equities climbed to N89.9tn from N89.59tn recorded in the previous session, driven largely by gains in blue-chip stocks across the oil and gas, consumer goods, and banking sectors.
