Movers & Shakers: March 13, 2017
Botswana: DCI +0.10% USD 20k
Nothing to report from Gaborone.
Kenya: NSE 20 +0.25%, USD 12.5m
An impressive start to the week on the activity front in Nairobi thanks to some chunky crossing action in Safcom ($8.5m) as foreigners dominated both sides of the name. The telco's (+2.7%) latest rally continued today after investors shrugged concerns with regards to the governments comments about MPESA. There was also some decent activity in KNCB ($1.1m) as the bank continued to gain after posting FY 2016 results last week, closing the day +1.7% higher. EABL ($1.1m) finally sprung to life thanks to foreign participation. EQBNK (+7.4%) had a very strong day, on tiny volume though.
Mauritius: Semdex +0.01%, USD 620k
A rather dull start to the week in Mauritius. The main action didn’t happen in MCBG for a change with NMH (unch, Rs21.00) dominating volumes today.
Nigeria: ASI -0.40%, USD 2.1m
A completely woeful start to the week in Lagos with not a single name breaking the $1m turnover mark. Banking stocks closed the day -1.02% with Zenith (-10.01%) being the major drag on the sector after going ex-div today. Consumers closed +0.14% higher on tiny volume.
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.05%, USD 351k
Another day of nothingness in Harare. The most excitement was in EcoLaf (2.25c).
