Movers & Shakers: July 22, 2016


Botswana: DCI -0.08%, USD 1.1m

Activity was heavily focused on local trading in the normally extremely illiquid Letlole. The rest of the market was dead.

Kenya: NSE 20 +0.27%, USD 5.8m

Foreign crosses in Equity Bank (unch, KES36.75) and EABL (-1.9%, KES260) were the only pieces of action in today's session in Nairobi. The rest of the market was dull.

Mauritius: Semdex +0.27%, USD 2.04m

Some chunky action in MCBG (+10bps, Rs207.25) once again heavily dominated trading on the Mauritian bourse. The rest of the market was quiet.

Nigeria: ASI -1.21%, USD 7.0m

It was a hopeless end to a hopeless week in Nigeria as the index just continues to fall on small volumes. The index fell by 1.21% with Banks (-39bps) once again a big drag although Dangcem (-4.27%, N179.50) was also a big contributor to the fall, albeit on tiny volumes. In the banks we at least saw some decent volumes in Zenith (+46bps, N15.37) and GTB (+14bps, N21.03). Consumers (+1.18%) actually had another solid day although volumes in the sector remain light.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.10%, USD 1.6m

Another decent day to end the week in Harare thanks to some action in Delta ($1.1m) while there was also so activity in Seedco ($342k).
