Nothing to report from Gaborone.
Activity continued to tick along in Nairobi thanks to another decent cross in KNCB ($3m) with the buyer being foreign while the seller was local as the name closed +2.26% higher. The was also some decent action in Safcom ($1.6m) as the telco closed -0.26% lower. The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics released their economic survey yesterday which saw GDP growth of 5.8% for 2016, up marginally from 5.7% in 2015.
The market finally sprung to life in Port Louis thanks to some action in Phoenix Beverages as 38k shares changed hands while there was also some small activity in MCBG (41k shares).
Interest continues to decline in Lagos with not a single name breaking the $1m turnover mark. Banking stocks closed the day -0.31% lower while consumers gained +0.12%, both on tiny volume.
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
A better day in Harare but still nothing to get too excited about with some small activity in OK Zim ($220k) the only name worth mentioning.
