The Nigerian stock market showed mixed performance on March 10, 2026, as investors took some profits after the market recently reached record highs. The benchmark All-Share Index (ASI) traded around 196,000 points, slightly lower than the previous session after earlier gains pushed the market above the 197,000 mark for the first time in history.
Despite the mild pullback, trading activity remained solid with investors continuing to show interest in key sectors such as oil marketing, exchange-linked stocks, and insurance companies. Earlier buying pressure in these sectors helped sustain the market’s broader bullish trend.
Market activity also remained active, with hundreds of millions of shares exchanged and market capitalization staying around ₦126 trillion, indicating continued participation from both institutional and retail investors.
Overall, the market remains technically strong, although analysts say further upward movement toward the 200,000 index level will depend on stronger liquidity and wider participation across sectors.
