Investors lost N1.811 trillion on Monday as widespread profit-taking in major equities dragged the stock market into negative territory on the first trading day of June.
The decline came as the market began trading under the newly introduced T+1 settlement cycle.
The cycle marks a significant milestone in the ongoing efforts to enhance efficiency and competitiveness in the capital market.
Heavy profit-taking in BUA Cement, Trans-nationwide Express, John Holt, Red Star Express and Deap Capital Management weighed on overall market performance.
