Movers & Shakers: February 25, 2016
Botswana: DCI -0.06%, USD 213
A much quieter day in Gaborone after the excitement of the past few sessions. The only trading took place in Sefalana (1340t).
Kenya: NSE 20 +0.42%, USD 4.4m
Nothing much to report from Nairobi once again as foreigners dominated proceedings. There was some foreign action in both major banking stocks as 3.5m shares traded in EQBNK (-0.6%) while 2.7m shares changed hands in KNCB (+0.6%). There was some activity in the usually illiquid Diamond Trust Bank as 506k shares traded.
Mauritius: Semdex -0.38%, USD 2.2m
There were 2 foreign bookovers just after the open in MCBG and SBMH which accounted for the bulk of today’s action. The rest of the market was incredibly quiet.
Nigeria: ASI +0.67%, USD 7.7m
Somewhat surprisingly we saw bids returning in the banks (+1.28%) which drove the index higher, albeit still on thin volumes. The only decent action in the banks took place in Zenith Bank (+2.02%, N11.09). Consumers (+28bps) were also positive although outside of NB (-1.05%, N99.05) there really wasn’t much to write home about.
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
Zimbabwe: Industrials: -0.13%, USD 215k
Every day in Harare feels like Groundhog Day with the index falling lower on thin volumes. And today proved no exception as interest continues to dwindle.
