OUTLOOK
The equities market extended its poor performance from the previous day, closing in the red. A broad-based decline across all sectors likely contributed to today’s market dip. Market recovery remains uncertain as investors reassess their stakes in quoted companies amid the ongoing release of Audited Financial Statements (AFS) for 2024.
