The Nigerian equities market experienced a record-breaking surge on Wednesday, with the All-Share Index closing at an all-time high of 251,191.02 basis points. This marked a 0.23 percent increase from the previous day's closing of 250,614.66 points, prompting the total market capitalization to expand by over N374 billion to reach N163.06 trillion.
This upward trend can be attributed to sustained investor interest and strategic realignments across key blue-chip stocks and high-yield instruments. Market analysts anticipate the positive sentiment to continue, driven by strong corporate fundamentals and targeted institutional buying.
