Movers & Shakers: January 22, 2016


Botswana: DCI -0.03%, USD 7k

Absolutely nothing to report from Gaborone.

Kenya: NSE 20 -0.30%, USD 5.5m

Another sub-par day to end the week from an activity point of view in Nairobi with Co-op Bank leading the way in terms of turnover thanks to a foreign cross with 14.3m shares chaging hands. Both major banking stocks managed to close the day higher with KNCB gaining +2.7% while EQBNK closed +0.7% higher. Safcom was relatively quiet as only 5.4m shares traded in the telco.

Mauritius: Semdex -0.31%, USD 630k

A very slow end to the week in Port Louis with SBMH (18.7m shares) the only name worth mentioning.

Nigeria: ASI +0.59%, USD 9.4m

Back to normal in Lagos from an activity point of view with some small action in Zenith ($1.6m) and GTB ($1.6m) while the rest of the market was very quiet. Banks capped off a very good week with the index gaining +1.84% thanks to good performances in UBA (+3.10%) and Zenith (+2.73%). Consumers (+0.55%) also closed higher thanks to 7UP (+7.93%) and Guinness (+5.00%).

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.32%, USD 150k

A rather dull day to end the week in Harare with no decent crosses to report.
