Trading resumed yesterday at the country’s stock exchange and investors reportedly lost a whopping $10 Billion on the first day of trading since the government suspended trading pending investigations into black market activities fueling the runaway exchange rate, the Chronicle reports.

According to the publication, the market cap closed the day at $218 Billion yesterday down from $228 Billion on 26 June the last day of trade before the month-long suspension.
