Sell pressure recorded by highly capitalised stocks forced the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) market indices to close negative on Tuesday.

Consequently, the crucial market indicators dipped 0.53 per cent, amid profit-taking by investors.

Similarly, the market capitalisation lost N68 billion to close at N12.776 trillion in contrast with N12.844 trillion recorded on Monday.

Speaking on market performance, Mr Ambrose Omordion, the Chief Operating Officer, InvestData Ltd., expected the mixed performance to continue as investors continue to react to third-quarter numbers.
