Nothing overly exciting to report from the BSE.
Once again we saw 1 or 2 crosses dominate the landscape on the NSE. The major crossing went through in KNCB as the bank rebounded slightly after yesterday’s walloping (+2.40%, KES32.00). The other large cap names also saw some decent trades and were rather stable. EABL rose by 42bps to KES240.00, Safcom closed unchanged at KES18.95 while EqBnk climbed by 2.26% to KES34.00.
Some heavy trading in MCBG was the main highlight today in Port Louis. The banking group rose by 20bps to Rs229.00 on good volumes while the rest of the market remains quiet.
Another dull day in Nigeria as interest remains on the low side. Investors are still wary after the Central Bank announcement earlier in the week although we did see both the banks (+59bps) and consumers (+22bps) close in the green. The only real action today went through in GTB (+58bps, N26.05) and Oando (+6.11%, N5.73).
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
A frustrating day in Zimbabwe as technical issues delayed the start of the session by a good few hours. However, once the market opened there were some decent trades in Delta (86.25c) and Simbisa (17.65c).
