Movers & Shakers: February 15, 2016
Botswana: DCI -0.13%, USD 1.3m
A reasonable day in Gaborone thanks to some action in the likes of Choppies (410t), Stanchart (1090t) and Sechaba (2900t).
Kenya: NSE 20 +0.10%, USD 3.1m
Not much on the go in Nairobi today as foreigners were all but absent from the market as local investors accounted for 88.4% of activity. A local cross in NIC accounted for the bulk of today's trade with 4.1m shares changing hands in the name. There was a small bit of activity in KNCB as 922k shares traded while the rest of the heavyweights were extremely quiet.
Mauritius: Semdex -0.25%, USD 420k
A rather uneventful day in Port Louis as the index just dripped marginally lower. Action took place mostly in MCBG (-20bps, Rs208.25), SBMH (unch, Rs0.68) and PBL (-2.4%, Rs361.00).
Nigeria: ASI +0.56%, USD 14.6m
A better start to the week than what we have become accustomed to of late with a large cross in Zenith ($8.1m) driving proceedings. There was also a small bit of activity in GTB ($1.9m), Nestle ($1.2m) and NB ($1m). DangCem continued it's strong run and closed the day +3.75% higher. Banks closed the day lower with the sector falling -0.97% thanks to losses in Zenith (-4.92%) and FBNH (-4.07%). Some weakness in IntBrew (-4.97%) and Nestle (-3.60%) dragged the consumer sector -1.37% lower.
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.45%, USD 2.3m
Another active day today but this was all thanks to Delta which finally came alive. The brewer closed at 52.29c while the rest of the market was quiet.
