Movers & Shakers: January 06, 2016


Botswana: DCI -0.01%, USD 59k

Nothing to report from Gaborone.

Kenya: NSE 20 -0.99%, USD 7.6m

It was a decent day to end the week in Nairobi, but this should be taken with a pinch of salt as Safcom (-1.1%) accounted for 66.9% of turnover with 28m shares changing hands in the name. Both major banking stocks came under some serious pressure with KNCB falling -3.5% while EQBNK closed -3.4% lower on foreign selling. EABL also closed the day in negative territory with the brewer falling -1.7%.

Mauritius: Semdex -0.11%, USD 700k

MCBG was once again the only name showing any form of life in Port Louis as 95k shares changed hands while the rest of the market was very quiet.

Nigeria: ASI +0.15%, USD 4.7m

Another slow day in terms of activity in Lagos as not a single name was able to break $1m mark yet again. Banking stocks closed the day slightly higher with the sector gaining +0.08% thanks to Zenith (+1.86%) and ETI (+1.23%). Consumers closed -0.01% lower on tiny volume.

Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.

Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.12%, USD 804k

Not the worst day to end the week in Harare with some action in Econet and Innscor driving proceedings.
