Movers & Shakers: July 25, 2016


Botswana: DCI -0.04%, USD 193k

Aside from 512k shares changing hands in Choppies, there was not much to report from Gaborone

Kenya: NSE 20 -0.46%, USD 4m

A broadly uneventful day in Kenya. The day started with an extremely aggressive foreign buyer in Safcom pushing the telco higher although the name eventually closed at KES18.10 (+30bps). EABL witnessed a couple of crosses as the brewer settled up 1.9% at KES265. The rest of the market was dead.

Mauritius: Semdex +0.35%, USD 1.1m

A decent start to the week from an activity point of view with some action in MCBG driving proceedings as 73k shares changed hands while 10.3m shares traded in SBMH.

Nigeria: ASI -0.11%, USD 7.5m

Another slow and lethargic day in Lagos which sets expectations for another slow week. The banks (+1.72%) did recover from last week though with action mostly focused on FBNH (+1.77%, N3.45) and Zenith (+1.82%, N15.65). Consumers (+2.12%) were also strong although activity in the sector was muted. The rest of the market was similarly uneventful.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.05%, USD 14k

An absolutely dire start to the week in Harare.
