Movers & Shakers: February 03, 2016
Botswana: DCI -0.04%, USD 1.6m
A much better day in Gaborone thanks to some action in Sefalana as 1.4m shares changed hands, while the rest of the market was dead quiet.
Kenya: NSE 20 +0.63%, USD 8.5m
Another very solid day in Nairobi from an activity point of view as foreigners dominated purchases and pushed the NSE 20 index +0.63% higher. EABL had a solid day with the brewer gaining +1.5% on foreign demand as 933k shares traded. EQBNK (unch) and KNCB (+0.7%) were also quite active as 4.4m shares and 3.2m shares changed hands in the names respectively. Safcom had a verys strong day and managed to gain +4.4% on 9.2m shares.
Mauritius: Semdex -0.55%, USD 2.8m
Some chunky action in MCBG (+40bps, Rs209.00) was the major attraction on a very active day in the Indian Ocean island. The only other stock to see any action was SBMH which closed unchanged at Rs0.67. NMH (-3.6%) came under some pressure after their cautionary stating that they are not aware of any international suitor.
Nigeria: ASI -0.96%, USD 14.5m
A cross in Wema Bank ($5.4m) boosted activity on an otherwise dull day as 1.1bn shares traded in the name. There was also some small activity in GTB ($2.1m) and Zenith ($1.6m). Banks closed the day lower for a second day in a row with the sector falling -2.93% with some serious pressure on Zenith (-5.22%) and GTB (-5.13%). Consumers (-0.83%) were also weaker thanks to Unilever (-4.99) and NB (-4.2 7%).
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
Zimbabwe: Industrials -1.31%, USD 71k
A pathetic day in Harare as sentiment just continues to worsen.
