  • Nigeria's $104 Billion Stock Market Sees Gains Amid Declining Trading Activity
    April 23, 2026, 4:35 AM EDT. Nigeria's NGX All-Share Index edged up 0.07% to 218,256.59, sustaining a year-to-date return above 40%, among the top global performers in 2026. However, key trading measures showed signs of weakening momentum. Investor activity cooled with about 842 million shares traded over 61,421 deals, worth $33.2 million (N44.8 billion). Compared to the prior session, volume dropped 14%, turnover declined 12%, and the number of deals fell 19%. This suggests despite the market's upward trend, participation is fading, raising questions about the sustainability of gains in Africa's second-largest stock exchange.
