Movers & Shakers: April 20, 2016
Botswana: DCI +0.09%, USD 1.0m
Another decent day in Gaborone thanks once again to Letshego as 4.1m shares traded while the rest of the market remains quiet.
Kenya: NSE 20 +0.13%, USD 7.7m
Another decent day in Nairobi as foreigners dominated proceedings (77.8%) and turned net sellers for the first time in five sessions. There were a few decent foreign crosses in EQBNK as the market heavyweight closed the day unchanged on 9.9m shares. KNCB managed to close the day higher on local demand as the name gained +0.6% on 3m shares. Activity slowed down in Safcom today as the telco continued with its strong run, closing +0.9% higher on 5.1m shares. EABL was once again very quiet.
Mauritius: Semdex -0.46%, USD 1.4m
A much better day in Port Louis thanks to a cross in Terra Mauricia as 864k shares changed hands in the name while there was also a bit of activity in MCBG as 43k shares traded.
Nigeria: ASI +0.51%, USD 5.5m
From bad to worse in Lagos as turnover fell to $5.5m with GTB ($1.5m) the only name breaking the $1m mark. At least the session opened on time today. Banking stocks continued to gain with the sector closing +1.88% higher thanks to GTB (+2.93%) and Zenith (+2.43%). Consumers (+0.59%) were also stronger, albeit on tiny volume thanks to Dangote Sugar (+4.84%).
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.33%, USD 280k
Not much on the go in Harare with some small activity in NatFoods ($252k) accounting for the bulk of turnover.
