A better day in Gaborone thanks to a cross in Letshego as 1.9m shares changed hands in the name while the rest of the market was quiet.
A rather dull day with foreigners pretty quiet. The only real action to note in the entire market was 1 cross in Safcom (local seller, foreign buyer) as we saw the aggressive foreign buyers push the name up 4.1% to KES18.85. The telco actually briefly touched an all-time high of KES19.20 midway through the session.
Things slowed down in Port Louis today with some small activity in MCBG and SBMH as 36k shares and 6.2m shares changed hands in the names respectively.
Another lackluster day in Lagos although the banks (+4.94%) finally found some bullish buyers. All the tier-1 banks closed solidly in the green although outside of Zenith (+4.73%, N16.39) the sector was rather quiet. The consumers (+40bps) were also strong with NB (+1.12%, N146.54) the main stock trading. The rest of the market was quiet. After the close of the session we saw the MPC announce decisions – MPR up from 12% to 14% while the CRR and Liquidty ratios remained unchanged at 22.5% and 30% respectively.
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
Another disastrous day in Harare.
