THE Nigerian equity market on Friday ended on a negative note with the market capitalisation dropping by N112 billion due to huge losses by some highly-capitalised stocks.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported that the market capitalisation which opened at N9.531 trillion shed N112 billion or 1.17 per cent, to close at N9.419 trillion.
Also, the All-Share Index dipped 325.48 points or 1.17 per cent to close at 27,425.86, compared with the 27,751.34 achieved on Thursday.
