Movers & Shakers: January 20, 2016
Botswana: DCI -0.07%, USD 2m
A large cross in Sechaba helped boost activity on an otherwise dull day as 815k shares traded in the name.
Kenya: NSE 20 +0.27%, USD 8.9m
Another solid day in Nairobi from an activity point of view as turnover amounted to $8.2m while the market came under some pressure with foreigners being net sellers. KNCB (-2.6%) was the day's most active stock as 6.9m shares traded in the name with foreigners dominating both sides. EQBNK (-2.5%) also closed lower on foreign selling as 3.6m shares traded. Safcom (-2.2%) was relatively quiet as 7.6m shares traded in the telco.
Mauritius: Semdex +0.19%, USD 2.2m
A much better day in Port Louis thanks to a cross of 3.5m United Investment on the DEM board. The rest of the market was unfortunately very quiet with some small activity in MCBG (58k shares).
Nigeria: ASI +3.91%, USD 7.9m
Another dull day in Lagos from an activity point of view with some activity in GTB ($1.7m) and NB ($1m) the only names to break the $1m mark. Banking stocks were on the charge today (albeit on small volume) with the sector gaining +8.07% with the likes of FBNH (+10.19%), GTB (+10.18%) and Zenith (+10.16%) all closing limit up. Consumers (+2.86%) were also stronger with good performances in Nestle (+5.00%), Guinness (+3.26%) and NB (+3.12%).
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.63%, USD 493k
Some small activity in Delta ($196k) and Simbisa ($127k) the only names worth mentioning on yet another slow day.
