Movers & Shakers: March 24, 2016


Botswana: DCI +0.01%, USD 9k

Nothing to report.

Kenya: NSE 20 +0.24%, USD 4.1m

A quiet end to the week ahead of the long Easter break. Outside of some decent late crosses in Safcom (+30bps, KES16.90). There was also some mild action in Equity Bank (-60bps, KES40.75) and Centum (-60bps, KES45.00) while the rest of the market was dead.

Mauritius: Semdex +0.01%, USD 510k

It was another dull day in Port Louis with muted activity in all the heavyweights, with not much on the go in MCBG, SBMH or NMH.

Nigeria: ASI +0.63%, USD 16.3m

A fairly active session for a change in Lagos with demand for both banks (+1.95%) and consumers (+1.67%) driving the index. Activity was also heavily driven by the banks with almost three-quarters of all activity going through in GTB (-49bps, N16.00) and Zenith (+3.67%, N13.00). In the consumers the only real action was in NB (+3.60%, N117.70) as it continues its relentless drive north.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.61%, USD 718k

Not a bad day (relatively speaking) to end the week ahead of the Easter weekend with some action in Delta ($599k) once again driving proceedings.
