Movers & Shakers: December 14, 2015


Botswana: DCI unch, USD 1.1m

Some crosses in Letshego at 291t and 292t were the bulk of today’s action while Sefalana saw some milder activity at the 1367t level.

Kenya: NSE 20 -0.67%, USD 5m

An iffy sort of start to the week from an activity point of view in Nairobi with turnover amounting to $5m as foreign activity fell to 59%. Safcom was the most active stock on the day as the telco gained +0.9% on foreign demand as 11m shares traded. Some activity in BATK as 200k shares traded (foreign buyer/ local seller). Not much on the go in KNCB as 1.2m shares traded while EQBNK (287k shares) was very quiet.

Mauritius: Semdex -0.03%, USD 520k

Outside of normal trading there was a large cross of 10.9m Mauritius Freeport at Rs8.28 on the DEM Crossings Board. Normal trading was extremely quiet and uneventful.

Nigeria: ASI -0.33%, USD 14.8m

Another rather dull start to the week in Lagos with some action in the likes of Guinness (+3.35m), GTB ($2.48m), Champion Brew ($1.84m) and FBNH ($1.28m) boosting activity. Banks closed the day lower with the sector falling -0.81% as Zenith (-3.11%) was the main loser. Consumers (+0.15%) managed to close higher thanks to Flour Mills (+2.59%) and Guinness (+1.96%) after Guinness put out a press release.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.05%, USD 258k

A dull start to the week in Harare as the market was again on the soft side.
