Nothing noteworthy to report on from Gaborone.
It was an extremely quiet day on the Nairobi bourse today. A large reason for this can be attributed to the fall in foreign participation. Once again the most active stock was Safcom as we saw more than $1.1m change hands in the name. The stock ended the day unchanged at KES18.00. The only other stocks that saw any reasonable trading was EABL (+40bps, KES225.00) and Stanbic Bank (unch, KES67.00).
A slow day ahead of the long weekend with tomorrow being closed for a public holiday. MCBG was once again the only name that had any life as 59k shares changed hands.
Another pathetically dull day in Nigeria. However, we did finally see some small buying return as both the banks (+1.40%) and consumers (+1.36%) closed higher for the day. The most active name was NB with some nice crosses going through, and we are also seeing the name bounce back (+3.08%, N133.99) after its recent weakness. There was also a local cross in Mobil, while in the banks the sector was extremely quiet except for some late crossing in GTB (+3.92%, N24.65).
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
Some smal activity in Innscor($152k) the only name worth mentioning on another dull day in Harare.
