Nigeria: ASI +0.18%, USD 3.7m

Back to the new normal in Lagos on the first trading day of the week with not a single name breaking the $1m mark. On the positive side, banking stocks managed to close in positive territory with the sector gaining +1.31% thanks to ETI (+4.32%) and Access (+2.99%). Consumers closed the day -0.36% lower on tiny volume. On the economic front, December 2016 CPI increased by +18.55% (y/y).

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.05%, USD 1m

The ZSE was probably the only African market that saw any activity today. The major action took place in Econet (30.10c). Delta released a rather downbeat Q3 trading update, stating that revenue is down -10% and -9% for Q3 and the 9-month period respectively.
