Nigeria: ASI +0.16%, USD 7.1m

The market just seems to be even quieter each day. The banks did in fact gain 1.53% although outside of GTB (+2.17%, N24.01) and FBNH (-2.16%, N6.34) the sector was quiet. The consumers closed down 40bps on small volumes across the board. The rest of the market had nothing to write home about.
