Movers & Shakers: December 03, 2014
Botswana: DCI unch, USD 163k
Nothing very exciting to report from Gaborone, small action in Letshego (267t) and FNBB (360t) about the only activity.
Kenya: NSE 20 -1.14%, USD 12.2m
A very solid day from an activity point of view as turnover amounted to $12.2m with foreigners (57%) dominating proceedings. Foreign demand continues to drive Safcom as the telco gained +1.8% on 20.75m. Foreigners also dominated purchases in KNCB and EQBNK as the former gained +0.9% while the latter closed unchanged. There was a local cross in BATK as 92k shares changed hands.
Mauritius: Semdex +0.02%, USD 1.05m
A relatively dull day in Port Louis. As usual, MCBG was the most active stock (unch, Rs203.00). There was also some muted activity in NMH (+29bps, Rs87.00) while SBMH closed unchanged at Rs1.03.
Nigeria: ASI -0.88%, USD 26.6m
Activity continues to underwhelm this week with turnover amounting to $26.6m with some action in DangCem ($5.49m), GTB ($3.79m), Stanbic ($3.57m) and WAPCO ($2.6m). Banks closed lower again with the Index falling -0.35% thanks to Zenith (-1.85%) and GTB (-0.33%). Consumers closed slightly higher with the sector gaining +0.27% thanks to PZ Cussons (+10.24%) and Flour Mills (+2.00%). Market heavyweight DangCem came under pressure and closed the day -2.86% lower.
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
