A completey dire day in Gaborone.
Some nice foreign crossing in EABL (-1.9%, KES260.00) was about the only excitement on a very quiet day. The rest of the market was eerily quiet with just some mild trading going on in the likes of CFC Stanbic (unch, KES80.00) and Equity Bank (-60bps, KES39.75).
A relatively slow start to the week with some small activity in MCBG (58k shares) and NMH (486k shares) the only names worth mentioning.
As expected with a US holiday the Nigerian bourse was rather lethargic. The sell-off continued despite some buying interest returning – most of the sell-off is thanks to Dangcem which fell by 7.07% to N123.60. Banks fell by 1.64% which is some improvement compared to last week. Action was again heavily focused on GTB (+1.20%, N13.53) and Zenith (-4.66%, N9.00). Consumers fell by 3.77% although outside of a couple of crosses in Nestle (-5%, N703.05) the sector was quiet.
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
Absolutely nothing to report from Harare.
