Movers & Shakers: April 18, 2016
Botswana: DCI +0.07%, USD 195k
Some action in Letshego the only name worth mentioning as 417k shares traded while the rest of the market was quiet.
Kenya: NSE 20 +0.24%, USD 5.6m
Another rather dull day to end the week in Nairobi as as foreigners were net buyers to the tune of $1.5m and accounted for 69.6% of activity. There were a few crosses in Safcom as foreign demand drove the telco +0.6% higher on 12.9m shares. The usually illiquid Diamond Trust Bank (+1.0%) also closed higher on foreign demand as 774k shares changed hands. The two major banking stocks were very quiet with KNCB closing unchanged while EQBNK fell -2.5%. EABL managed to close +1.1% higher on 188k shares.
Mauritius: Semdex -0.38%, USD 970k
A rather average day in Port Louis with turnover failing to break the $1m mark. MCBG drove activity as 55k shares traded in the counter while the likes of SBMH and NMH were rather quiet.
Nigeria: ASI -0.28%, USD 2.9m
It was fun and games today in Lagos as the market opened 10 minutes before the normal closing time as a result of technical issues, and as such, trading was extended to 4pm Lagos time. Activity was almost non-existant as a result of the technical issues while the market closed the day lower with weakness in both banking stocks (-0.60%) and consumer stocks (-0.64%)
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
Zimbabwe: Market closed for the day.
