Nigerian stock market extends slide as investors lose N1.005 trillion on Thursday
Nigeria's equities extended a sharp two-day selloff, with market capitalization down N1.005tn and the NGX All-Share Index falling 0.66%, alongside negative breadth. Turnover surged 177%, indicating active de-risking and potential forced repositioning despite isolated gainers. While largely a local-market event, it signals heightened risk aversion in Nigerian assets and can modestly color broader emerging-market sentiment.
