Movers & Shakers: July 17, 2017
Botswana: Market closed
Kenya: NSE 20 +0.43%, USD 11.2m
Action today was split across a number of different counters with these names seeing some solid crosses. The major action went through in Safcom (unch, KES23.00) with the telco bearing witness to multiple crosses. The banks also saw some decent volumes and both were extremely strong – KNCB closed at KES40.00 (+1.91%) and Equity Bank rose by 1.97% to KES38.75. The rest of the market was quiet.
Mauritius: Semdex +0.20%, USD 4.7m
The major reason for such high turnover today was a single foreign cross in Sanlam (USD). However, normal trading activities were much more muted with interest as always heavily centered around MCBG (+40bps, Rs277.00).
Nigeria: ASI +0.12%, USD 8.6m
The Lagos bourse never felt like it wanted to wake up after the weekend. There were only 2 names that crossed the psychological $1m barrier; GTB (+3bps, N36.61) and Flourmills (+5.00%, N26.25) thanks to a late cross. The rest of the market was eerily quiet.
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.07%, USD 77k
It was almost as if the ZSE did not want to wake up after the weekend with virtually nothing happening.
