Benchmark rebound and trading momentum
As reported by NGX Group, citing Nigerian Exchange Group, the NGX All-Share Index rises 1.44% on Monday to close at 252,456.74 points, from 248,877.22 points on Friday. The gain is driven by renewed buying interest in large and mid-cap counters including DANGCEM, OANDO, FIDELITYBK, TRANSPOWER, ACCESSCORP, ETERNA, NEM and ZENITHBANK.The market’s recovery comes even as breadth remains negative, with 20 advancers against 28 decliners. That pattern suggests the rally is concentrated in selected heavyweights rather than spread broadly across the market.
Trading activity also strengthens, pointing to firmer investor participation at the start of the week. Total turnover increases 13.71% to N30.55 billion, traded volume climbs 20.03% to 453.41 million shares, and the number of deals rises 31.30% to 42,891 transactions.
Sector winners and wider market signals

Insurance follows with a 1.28% increase, while the Commodities, Banking and Oil and Gas indices advance 0.42%, 0.25% and 0.22%, respectively.The Consumer Goods Index is the only laggard, slipping 0.03%. The strong showing in industrial stocks provides significant support for the wider market, underlining the influence of heavyweight equities on the direction of Nigeria’s benchmark index.
