Botswana: DCI +0.01%, USD 886

Absolutely nothing to report from Gaborone.

Kenya: NSE 20 -0.91%, USD 5.2m

A rather sub-par day from an activity point of view as turnover amounted to $5.2m with foreigners accounting for 75.4% of activity. Safcom managed to close +1.0% higher as 10.3m shares changed hands in the telco. The two major banking stocks closed mixed with KNCB closing unchanged while EQBNK fell -1.2%. Not much on the go in EABL as 188k shares traded.

Mauritius: Semdex -0.02%, USD 690k

A rather dull day to end the week with some activity in NMH (357k shares) and MCBG (24k shares) driving proceedings while the rest of the market was very quiet.

Nigeria: ASI +0.10%, USD 44.7m

A much better day in Lagos with turnover amounting to an impressive $44.7m thanks to crosses in Seplat ($23.6m), GTB ($11.4m), NB ($2.2m) and Nestle ($2m). Banking stocks closed the day lower with the sector falling -1.26% with losses in Access (-4.43%) and Zenith (-3.17)%. Consumers (-0.82%) also closed lower thanks to Unilever (-7.02%).

Another rather dull day in Harare to end the week with Afdis ($311k) the only name worth mentioning.
