BRVM benchmark index declines under weight of bellwether Sonatel
As of the latest trading session, the BRVM Composite index continues its seasonal trend for the month of January, maintaining a downward trajectory. The index experienced a decline of 0.35%, reaching 208.83 points, which is attributed to a period of consolidation following a lively end to the previous year.
During this session, Sonatel, the stock with the largest capitalization on the regional stock market, played a significant role in driving the downward trend by falling 2.3% to 17,000 FCFA. This decline resulted in a market valuation loss of 40 billion FCFA ($66 million) in a single session for the telecom giant.
The negative influence extended to other indices, with the BRVM 30 and BRVM Prestige indices decreasing by 0.35% and 0.17%, respectively. The balance of variations indicated 12 increases against 13 decreases.
