Paralysis is taking over in Port Louis as indices continue to close in the red. MCBG took a downward turn after its impressive fight yesterday, to close at a 14 month low of Rs195, due to Foreign and local selling pressure. Foreigners accounted for 86% of the buying interest in PBL, which saw the counter close at a new record high of Rs242.50 (+3.2%).
Nigeria: ASI -2.40%, USD 24.6m
The Nigerian bourse fell further today although it was evident that some buyers returned to the market as the banks were in actual fact trading in the green at one stage.
