Botswana: DCI -0.04%, USD 85k
Another quiet day in Gaborone
Kenya: NSE 20 -0.12%, USD 10.2m
A much better day in Nairobi as turnover increased to $10.2m thanks to some foreign action in KNCB (+0.9%) as 3.76m shares traded in the name while locals continued to dominate total market activity. EQBNK (-0.9%) on the other hand closed lower on local investor selling as 2.31m shares traded. Local demand drove Safcom (+0.4%) higher today as 8.6m shares traded while foreign selling pressure pushed EABL -0.3% lower on 218k shares.
