There was finally some action in Gaborone thanks to a few crosses in Choppies as 10m shares changed hands in the name while there was also a small bit of activity in BIHL.
Another extremely dull and uneventful day in Kenya. There honestly was nothing worth writing home about with the main action taking place in KNCB (unch, KES26.00), Safcom (-89bps, KES16.65) and EABL (-46bps, KES215.00). There was nothing else worth noting.
A slow day in Port Louis with some small activity in MCBG, Ciel and LUX, but nothing worth writing home about.
Some action trying to return to the Nigerian bourse although turnover remains well below historical norms. As has been the case in recent sessions, Zenith Bank witnessed a number of chunky crosses with local buyers the main driver – the bank closed up 1.31% at N14.69. GTB also saw some late crossing and closed at N25.95 (+3.80%). The banking sector as a whole closed up 1.82%. The consumers were also strong with the sector gaining 1.46%. The activity in the sector were dominated by NB (+2.38%, N133.15) and Guinness (+4.97%, N64.40).
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
A better day in Harare thanks to some action in Delta ($840k) while the rest of the market remains quiet.
