  "summary": "The week ending October 9, 2026, saw Nigerian equities close lower for the second consecutive week, with the benchmark NGX All-Share Index (ASI) falling 0.97% to close at 248,363.55 points. Livestock Feeds emerged as the standout performer, surging 47.75% from N8.90 to N13.15, while Critical Minerals Financing Corp experienced the steepest decline, dropping 20.27%. Market capitalisation fell by approximately N1.58 trillion to N161.26 trillion, moderating the market's year-to-date return to 59.60% from 61.17% the previous week. Market breadth was weak, with fewer equities appreciating than the previous week, and 68 equities remained unchanged, indicating selective buying rather than a broad recovery. Analysts expect the market to remain cautious in the coming week due to persistent selling pressure and negative breadth.",
