The Nigerian Stock Exchange All-Share Index closed the day on a relatively flat note as market participants continued to trade with a cautious approach. Institutional bids in First Bank ensured robust volumes in excess of 94 million units exchanging hands, it emerged tops on the volume traded list, while a resuscitation of buy interest in Transcorp sent it back to the gainers list closing the day limit up at N1.01 with 53 million units of trades. For the Banks Access Bank, Diamond Bank, UBA, Union Bank, FCMB, Stanbic IBTC and Zenith Bank closed on a negative note as bid interest were mostly stacked at the lower end of the market ladder, while others like First Bank, Sterling Bank and Fidelity Bank only managed to secure marginal gains at the end of the trading session. For the consumer goods, Dangote Flour, Dangote Sugar lost value, Nascon made a positive turn of 4.3 per cent to close at N4.38 while unavailability of supply volumes continued to keep Flour Mills and Nestle at current values.
