Movers & Shakers: August 26, 2015


Botswana: Data not available at time of writing.

Kenya: NSE 20 -1.68%, USD 6.3m

Another woeful day in Nairobi as the market continues to fall on small volumes. The most active name was Bamburi which fell by 1.3% to KES152 although the bulk of trading was done by local participants. All 4 large cap names took a pounding. EABL (KES270) and Safcom (KES13.45) fell by 3.9% and 3.6% respectively while in the banks we saw Equity Bank and KNCB fall by 1.9% and 2.8% respectively.

Mauritius: Semdex -0.26%, USD 480k

A dull day in Port Louis with total value traded amounting to a dire $480k as MCBG (33k shares) was the most active name while the rest of the market was very quiet.

Nigeria: ASI -2.32%, USD 25.5m

The relentless sell off continues with red screens dominating the board. Once again crosses are about the only source of interest. Banks fell by a further 2.21% with action heavily centered in GTB (-3.38%, N20.00), Zenith (-1.77%, N13.85) and Access (-3.11%, N4.36). The consumers were also weak as they shed 2.67% although outside of NB (-1.76%, N110.15) the sector was dead.

Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.

Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.04%, USD 1.34m

A much better in Harare as turnover amounted to $1.34m thanks to some action in Econet ($595k), Delta ($342k) and CBZ ($196k).
