The Nigerian bourse opened trading this week by depreciating 0.07%, as the market capitalisation closed at N27.92 trillion on Monday, below Friday’s N27.94 trillion.

It follows the over 194.12 million shares exchanged by investors in 4,899 deals on Monday, worth N2.82 billion.

This was in contrast to the N1.70 billion spent to trade 127.03 million shares in 3,718 deals last week Friday.
