Nigeria: ASI +0.51%, USD 17.5m

The market started the week on a positive note, as the banks, which were the only index up, helped the index close higher, with names like Guaranty and Zenith seeing some gains after Friday’s profit taking sell-off. International Breweries, Guaranty and Zenith were the names with the highest turnover, all accounting for a total of 41% of total market turnover.
