Movers & Shakers: January 06, 2015
Botswana: DCI +0.01%, USD 24k
Nothing happened in Gaborone.
Kenya: NSE 20 +0.17%, USD 5.9m
Another quiet day in Nairobi although foreign participation was much improved. The bulk of the action was focused on Safcom (-1.1%, KES13.90), Bamburi (unch, KES140) and EABL (+1.3%, KES307). There was also activity in KNCB (-90bps, KES56.00) and Centum (+1.6%, KES64.50).
Mauritius: Semdex -0.40%, USD 1.09m
Another relatively uneventful day in Port Louis. The banks were under pressure with SBMH closing down 1% at Rs1.01 while MCBG fell by 50bps to Rs196.75. These 2 banks accounted for almost all the trading activity today.
Nigeria: ASI -4.19%, USD 28.9m
The Lagos bourse opened on the back foot and remained the way for the entire session as red covered the trading screens. Banks lost 3.47% with every banking name in the red. Tier 1 names saw a couple of crosses in the likes of ETI (-1.10%, N18.00), GTB (-3.42%, N24.32) and Zenith (-5%, N17.10). Consumers were also on the receiving end of a massive battering as the sector lost 5.98% led lower by NB (-9.71%, N147.17) and Nestle (-5%, N945.82). There were also big losses in names like DangCem (-5%, N180.50), UACN, (-5%, N32.30), Unilever (-4%, N35.03), Seplat (-5%, N333.93) and Flourmills (-4.88%, N37.23) as red littered the screens during a tough day in Nigeria.
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
Zimbabwe: Industrials -1.08%, USD 1.89m
Today it was Econets turn to dominate proceedings as trading in the telco accounted for 90% of the days turnover. Econet closed at 60c while there was also some minor trading in Delta (102c).
