Movers & Shakers: February 01, 2017


Botswana: DCI -0.03%, USD 314k

A cross in BIHL (105k shares) drove proceedings on a slow day in Gaborone.

Kenya: NSE 20 +0.3%, USD 14.4m

There was finally some life on the Kenyan market today, but this should be taken with a pinch of salt as a few large foreign crosses in Safcom (+0.3%) accounted for the bulk of activity as 60.4m shares changed hands in the telco. KNCB (+1.1%) manged to close the day in positive territory while EQBNK closed unchanged. Nothing on the go in EABL (+2.2%).

Mauritius: Closed for the day.

Nigeria: ASI -0.51%, USD 4.9m

A slow day in Lagos with a few crosses in select names but nothing worth noting. Banking stocks closed the day -0.47% lower with some pressure on GTB (-1.05%). Consumers (-3.21%) closed in negative territory with NB (-3.54%) being amongst the hardest hit.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.21%, USD 265k

Some small activity in Old Mutual ($217k) the only name worth mentioning on a very slow day in Harare.
