Movers & Shakers: December 11, 2015


Botswana: DCI -0.08%, USD 368k

Outside of some action in FNBB (382t) the market was extremely quiet.

Kenya: NSE 20 +0.22%, USD 7.1m

Foreign buying drove the market higher today with Safcom (+60bps, KES16.25) the main driver behind this. We also saw some nice trading in KNCB although the bank shed 60bps to KES40.25. There was 1 cross in CFCB at KES85.00 (+2.4%, foreign buyer, local seller) while NMG (foreign buying, local selling) also saw some trades. The other large caps were extremely quiet.

Mauritius: Semdex +0.11%, USD 1.09m

Nothing really exciting to report from Port Louis. The biggest action as usual took place in MCBG which gained 70bps to close at Rs210.00.

Nigeria: ASI +0.23%, USD 15.3m

The market ambled along with no direction and in thin volumes unlike a large cross in Forte Oil (both sides local - almost half the daily turnover) went through right before the close. In normal trading we saw the banks close down 24bps although outside of GTB (+2.15%, N18.99) the sector was dull. Consumers gained 34bps with only NB (+2.31%, N119.00) seeing any action.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.24%, USD 126k

After a decent week of activity the bourse resumed its old familiar trading pattern i.e. weak sentiment on thin volumes. Nothing of interest took place today.
