The Nigerian Stock Exchange All-Share Index gained 3bps today. Gains and losses were fairly matched at the close of the session in the banking sector. Demand for Fidelity Bank shares during the session led to a 4.9 per cent gain; a further hold back on offers could prolong this trend. Zenith Bank held steady at N11.50, inching up marginally at the close of the session. Skye Bank, Access Bank and Stanbic IBTC were also on the up-tick, with gains of 2.2 per cent, 4.2 per cent and 4.9 per cent respectively. Lafarge Wapco and Ashaka Cement inched up with respective gains of 1.7 per cent and 0.4 per cent. Scant offers remained the bane of Dangote Cement; it subsequently recorded no price change at the close of the session, though demand remained strong. On the flip side, CCNN shed maximum points. In other sectors, Custodian & Allied, Transcorp and Bagco rallied with gains of 4.8 per cent, 3.8 per cent and 3.2 per cent respectively.
