The Nigerian Exchange (NGX) has recorded a remarkable N2.5 trillion gain, marking the first significant recovery since the economic shock caused by former U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent threats against Nigeria. The surge comes after a period of heightened investor anxiety and market volatility triggered by Trump’s designation of Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern.”

Financial analysts have linked the rebound to renewed investor confidence and stabilizing market sentiment. After losing trillions in the previous weeks, the NGX has demonstrated resilience, showing that Nigeria’s equity market can recover from geopolitical shocks. Experts also noted that strategic investments and improved domestic policies are key factors contributing to the current positive trend.

Speaking on the development, market analysts emphasized that while the gain is encouraging, sustained growth depends on local production, reduced import dependence, and strong governance. The recent performance has sparked optimism among investors who are now cautiously returning to the market.

This recovery represents a critical turning point for the Nigerian financial market, signaling hope for a more stable and robust investment climate despite external pressures.
