BRVM closes its first trading session of 2024 in the red
The BRVM (Bourse Régionale des Valeurs Mobilières) has experienced a sluggish start in the year 2024. Notably, key market indices, including the BRVM Composite index (-0.64% at 212.77 points), BRVM 30 (-0.76% at 107.03 points), and BRVM Prestige (-0.79% at 100.67 points), registered declines in the closing of the first trading session.
This negative performance is attributed to the decrease in Orange CI (-2.75% at 10,600 FCFA), the second-largest capitalization on the BRVM, along with a decline in the Oragroup share. This downturn may be linked to a consolidation phase following previous market performances.
Notable securities in the flop 3 of this listing include Oragroup (-5.49% at 2,495 FCFA), Alios Finance (-3.47% at 1,250 FCFA), and Sicable (-3.15% at 1,075 FCFA). Despite a general decline with 22 decreases compared to 9 increases, certain stocks demonstrated significant gains. Noteworthy performers include Servair (+6.77% at 1,420 FCFA), Uniwax (+6.54% at 570 FCFA), and Bernabé (+5.00% at 1,050 FCFA).
