Movers & Shakers: June 23, 2017


Botswana: DCI -0.13%, USD 210k

A rather uninspiring end to the week in Gaborone with just Letshego (219t) seeing any activity.

Kenya: NSE 20 +0.31%, USD 10.7m

Another sprightly day in Nairobi with activity levels at decent levels. Foreign investors were heavily skewed to the sell side. Once again the bulk of the action went through in Safcom with the telco closing unchanged at KES23.25. EABL witnessed a couple of chunky crosses and closed at KES264.00 (-38bps). There was also some crossing in BMBC (+5.88%, KES180.00).

Mauritius: Semdex +0.20%, USD 976k

The market inched higher today thanks yet again to MCBG which rose by another 40bps to another all-time high of R268.00. However, market activity was dominated instead by SBMH which rose by 80bps to Rs7.20. The rest of the market remains subdued. MCBG declared an interim dividend of Rs4.25 per share for the year ending 30 June 2017 (2016 = Rs4.00).

Nigeria: ASI -2.45%, USD 10.3m

A quiet end to the week as the index continues to fall. Both Banks (-1.52%) and Consumers (-1.90%) had soft days. In the banks, we saw activity dominated by Zenith Bank (-49bps, N20.33) while Access Bank (-3.90%, N8.86) was the recipient of a chunky cross. The consumers were extremely quiet. Please note that Monday and Tuesday are holidays in Lagos due to the Id-El Fitr holidays.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.09%, USD 451k

Another slightly weak day in Harare while volumes dropped off significantly. The major trading today went through in slightly illiquid names like BAT and Padenga.
