Weekly Market Wrap: All-Share Index rises 0.71% as select consumer and industrial goods stocks fuel rally 

The Nigerian stock market concluded the week ended 13th June 2025 on a positive note, as the All-Share Index (ASI) gained 812.79 points to close at 115,429.54, up from 114,616.75 in the previous week.

This marks a 0.71% gain, and notably, the first time the index has broken through the key 115,000-point psychological barrier.

The rally was largely driven by strong performances in select consumer goods and industrial goods stocks, which helped sustain bullish sentiment across the board.

However, trading activity slowed as weekly volume dipped to 2.05 billion shares, a 32% decline from the 3.02 billion shares recorded in the previous week.

Meanwhile, market capitalization grew from N72.2 trillion to N72.78 trillion, reflecting the market’s positive momentum.

Key highlights:
