A very quiet day in Nairobi as foreigners dominated proceedings. Safcom was the most active name on the day as foreign demand drove the telco +0.9% higher on 9.9m shares. KNCB came under a bit of pressure with foreigners pushing the name -0.6% lower as 1.3m shares changed hands. Elsewhere, the rest of the big names were very quiet.
Some decent action in MCBG (+50bps, Rs209.00) was the main driver of the market today.
A better day in Lagos, but activity continues to fail to break the $10m mark with some action in FBNH ($3.1m) and GTB ($1.1m) driving proceedings. Banking stocks continued to rallyl with the sector closing +0.68% higher thanks to GTB (+2.54%). Consumers (+1.56%) also closed higher thanks to a good performance in NB (+4.06%). WAPCO (-4.96%) came under some pressure after releasing Q1 2016 results.
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
The index crept higher although volumes still remain woeful. There was mild interest in the normally illiquid Old Mutual (220.25c) and Seedco (56c).
