On June 24, 2026, the Nigerian equities market experienced its largest single-day decline of the year, with a loss of N3.64 trillion in investor wealth. This drop was primarily driven by profit-taking in major cement and power stocks, including BUA Cement, Dangote Cement, and Geregu, which overshadowed the previous days' buying momentum and halted the market's recovery efforts.
