Kenya: NSE 20 -1.10%, USD 9.8m

A much better day on the activity front in Nairobi thanks to some action in EABL (-0.9%) as 2.3m shares changed hands in the brewer.

An impressive day in Lagos thanks to a large cross in Seplat ($28.1m) while there was also some action in NB ($1.8m) and GTB ($1.1m). Banking stocks came under a bit of pressure with the sector falling -0.89% with Zenith (-3.45%) being the major drag. Consumers (+0.31%) closed slightly higher thanks to Nestle (+4.03%). The Nigerian Central Bank left the key interest rate unchange at 14% as expected at the first meeting of 2017.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.24%, USD 317k

Delta ($224k) was once again the only name with any form of life on the Harare bourse.
