    Weekly Market Wrap: Insurance, Consumer goods sectors shine as All-Share Index gains 0.83% 

    July 6, 20254 Mins Read


    The Nigerian stock market wrapped up the trading week ended 4th July 2025 on a bullish note, with the All-Share Index gaining 993.90 points to close at 120,989.66.

    This represents a 0.83% gain from last week’s close of 119,995.76, driven largely by strong performances in the insurance and consumer goods sectors, as the index edges closer to the 121,000 level.

    Weekly market activity picked up momentum, with trading volume rising to 4.8 billion shares, up from 3.7 billion shares in the previous week.

    Market capitalization also expanded, rising to N76.3 trillion from N75.9 trillion.

    • In terms of market breadth, 78 equities appreciated in price, same as the 78 recorded the previous week.
    • On the flip side, 20 equities declined in price, fewer than the 27 in the prior week.
    • 49 stocks remained unchanged.

    Market overview

    The Nigerian stock market opened the week on a cautious note, with the All-Share Index dipping into negative territory on Monday and extending losses on Tuesday to close at 119,741.23.

    However, sentiment turned midweek.

    • A rebound on Wednesday pushed the index back above the 120,000 mark, and by Thursday, it surged past 120,900.

    While Friday’s movement was relatively muted, the week still closed on a solidly positive note.

    Key highlights: 

    • The NGX Premium Index fell by 0.77%, weighed down by a 3.41% drop in DANGOTE CEMENT and a 2.67% decline in FBN HOLDINGS.
    • In contrast, the NGX 30 Index advanced by 0.40%, signaling broad-based resilience across large-cap stocks.
    • The NGX Main Board Index also contributed to the bullish sentiment, rising by 1.63% for the week.

    Sectoral performance: 

    • The NGX Insurance Index led sectoral gainers with a 5.86% weekly return, fueled by strong rallies in INTERNATIONAL ENERGY INSURANCE PLC and MUTUAL BENEFITS ASSURANCE PLC — both surging over 33%.
    • The NGX Consumer Goods Index followed with a 4.08% gain, supported by standout performances from CHAMPION BREWERIES (+32%), MCNICHOLS (+28%), HONEYWELL FLOUR (+21%), CADBURY (+18%), INTERNATIONAL BREWERIES (+10%), and UNILEVER (+10%).
    • The NGX Oil & Gas Index rose by 0.77%, while the NGX Banking Index edged up 0.12%.

    Market outlook 

    The Nigerian equities market ended the week on a strong footing, with the All-Share Index inching closer to the 121,000 milestone.

    If current momentum in large- and mid-cap names continues, the market is likely to maintain its upward trajectory in the sessions ahead.
