Movers & Shakers: February 02, 2016
Botswana: DCI -0.25%, USD 33k
Nothing to report from Gaborone.
Kenya: NSE 20 +0.37%, USD 8.3m
A much better day in Nairobi as turnover increased +321% to $8.3m as foreigners turned net buyers to the tune of $5.5m. Foreign demand drove activity in KNCB as and EQBNK as 11.3m shares and 878k shares traded in the names respectively. Some decent action in the usually illiquid Jubilee (foreign buyer/ local seller) helped boost activity as 250k shares traded. A better day in Safcom as the telco managed to gain +2.9% on foreign purchases as 7.2m shares changed hands.
Mauritius: Semdex +0.53%, USD 710k
Another strong day in Port Louis although volumes remain light. MCBG rose by 1% to Rs208.25 while SBMH closed up 3% at Rs0.68 albeit on small volumes. NMH gained 3.5% to Rs23.80, although the company did issue a cautionary after the close stating that it had not been approached by an international suitor.
Nigeria: ASI +0.03%, USD 12m
A better day in Lagos, but still nothing to write home about with some crosses in the likes of GTB ($2.4m), Zenith ($2.2m), UBA ($1.6m) and NB ($1.4m) boosting activity. Banking stocks were mixed today, but the sector did close the day lower with the Index falling -0.72% as GTB (-2.38%) and Zenith (-0.58%) were drags on the sector. Consumers (-0.34%) also closed the day lower thanks to GSK (-4.99%) and 7UP (-4.94%).
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.40%, USD 502k
The ZSE continues its’ freefall as the market continues to go one way. Volumes remain embarrassingly low although there was some mild action in Delta (53c) today.
