Market capitalization also experienced growth, climbing by N70.869 billion to reach N56.367 trillion, up from N56.296 trillion.

The positive trend is primarily credited to the robust performance of leading finance firms within the SWOOT sector, further boosted by GTCO’s addition to the sector, which saw its share price soar by 9.55% and ZENITH BANK’s market value rise by 6.76%.

JAPAULGOLD stood out with a commendable 9.58% increase in share price, outperforming 16 other advancing stocks. Conversely, TIP faced a downturn, leading 19 declining stocks with a 10% drop in share price.

Trading volumes peaked with GTCO, which led both in volume and value traded. Despite this, the overall transaction volume witnessed a decline, concluding the day with 8,298 deals, a decrease from the previous session’s 7,168 transactions.
