A solid start to the week on the activity front in Gaborone thanks to a cross in FNBB as 3.3m shares changed hands.
It was a painfully slow start to the week in Nairobi with some tiny activity in EQBNK ($529k) the only name worth mentioning as the rest of the heavyweights were dead quiet.
A very dull start to the week in Port Louis after the long weekend with nothing worth writing home about.
Zenith Bank released their FY 2016 results which saw PAT increase 23% to N129bn, and as such, was the most active name on the day with $3.2m worth of stock changing hands. Elsewhere, there was some decent activity in NB ($1.5m) while the rest of the market was relatively quiet. Banking stocks closed the day +1.00% higher thanks to GTB (+2.37%) and Zenith (+0.48%). Consumers (+0.72%) closed in positive territory thanks to a good gain in NB (+1.54%).
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
There was finally some life in Harare, relatively speaking, with some action in OK Zim ($349k) and Mashonaland ($257k) driving proceedings.
