Movers & Shakers: January 23, 2017


Botswana: DCI -0.19%, USD 24k

An absolutely dire day in Gaborone.

Kenya: NSE 20 -0.40%, USD 7.3m

A very average start to the week in Nairobi with a decent cross in EABL (unch) driving proceedings as 1m shares changed hands in the brewer ahead of results due out on Friday. The usual market driver Safcom (+0.3%) was extremely quiet as 974k shares changed hands in the telco. EQBNK (-1.0%) came under some foreign selling pressure while KNCB was dead quiet.

Mauritius: Semdex -0.05%, USD 1730k

A rather subdued start to the week in Port Louis, with MCBG once again the only name with any form of life as 47k shares changed hands.

Nigeria: ASI +0.03%, USD 8.4m

A better start to the week than what we have become accustomed to of late in Lagos with a large cross in the usually illiquid Presco ($3.3m) driving proceedings, while activity in the usual market heavyweights was rather subdued. Banking stocks closed the day ever so slightly lower with the sector losing -0.03% thanks to losses in UBA (-0.39%) and Zenith (-0.31%). Consumers (+0.04%) closed slightly higher thanks mainly to Flour Mills (+0.33%).

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.41%, USD 626k

Some action in Delta ($506k) the only name worth mentioning while activity in Econet remains non-existent after the cautionary with regards to the rights issue.
