Movers & Shakers: March 08, 2017
Botswana: DCI +0.03% USD 886k
Things slowed down in Gaborone today with a cross in Letshego the only name worth mentioning as 4m shares changed hands.
Kenya: NSE 20 -0.53%, USD 3.5m
Much of the same in Nairobi on the activity front as investors remain on the sidelines with the usual suspect Safcom ($2.2m) dominating proceedings as the telco continues to come under pressure, closing the day -2.7% lower. The two major banking stocks closed the day firmly higher with KNCB gaining +3.8% and EQBNK closing +2.0% higher, albeit on tiny volume.
Mauritius: Semdex -0.10%, USD 1.3m
Some action today in Mauritius thanks to the banks with both MCBG (Rs226.50) and SBMH (Rs7.02) closing unchanged.
Nigeria: ASI -0.54%, USD 12.3m
Activity continued to improve in Lagos thanks to crosses in Guinness ($2m), NB ($1.7m), Stanbic ($1.6m), Seplat ($1.6m) and Zenith ($1.1m). It was pleasing to see that activity was spread across a few stocks in todays session, as apposed to the usual one or two names. Banking stocks closed the day slightly lower with the sector falling -0.12% with Stanbic (-1.28%) and Zenith (-0.68%) being the major drags. Consumers (+3.01%) had a solid day thanks to great performances in NB (+4.99%) and Guinness (+3.94%).
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.49%, USD 513k
The ZSE bounced a bit higher today although volumes remain subdued. Most of the outperformance was thanks to Econet which rose to 15c albeit on tiny volumes.
