Reasons Behind Today's Midday Decline on the Nigerian Exchange


The Nigerian Exchange is facing a midday downturn, primarily influenced by a sell-off in shares of Zenith Bank and Access Holdings, among other early decliners. Investors are taking profits on banking stocks, leading to a negative shift in the banking index for the day.

As of midday, the Nigerian Exchange All Share Index recorded a slight decline of -0.02%. 

Industry experts attributed this decline to increased selling pressure from investors on various mid to high-cap stocks. Notable losses included UBA at -4.59%, OANDO at -3.09%, ACCESSCORP at -2.91%, UCAP at -1.91%, STERLINGNG at -1.00%, TRANSCORP at -0.44%, and ZENITHBANK at -0.13%.

By mid-day, the NGX Banking Index had also recorded a drop of 0.88%.
