The local equities market commenced the trading week in the green zone as its All Share Index (ASI) rose by 0.80% to close at 39,110.17 points as banking and Industrial stocks were the toast of investors today. Hence, the year-to-date gain of the NSE ASI increased to 45.71% despite the Exchange printing more losers (20) than gainers (19). We saw investors took a position in BUACEMENT, ZENITH BANK and ACCESS shares.
