Movers & Shakers: March 29, 2017


Botswana: DCI +0.02%, USD 332k

Some small activity in Sefalana the only name worth mentioning as 290k shares changed hands.

Botswana: DCI +0.02%, USD 332k

It is becoming ground hog day in Nairobi, with Safcom ($2.3m) yet again the dominant force behind turnover with the telco coming under some serious foreign selling pressure and falling -3.0%. There was however finally some small activity in EQBNK ($1m) as the name closed +4.0% higher on the back of foreing demand.

Mauritius: Closed for the day.

Nigeria: ASI -0.55%, USD 7.1m

Save for a cross in the usually very illiquid Custody Insurance ($3.1m), activity nearly ground to a halt with not a single blue chip name coming close to breaking the $1m turnover mark. Both banking stocks and consumers closed the day lower on tiny volume with the sectors falling -2.44% and -0.19% respectively. According to reports, S&P Dow Indices said that they may remove Nigeria from their Africa Index and create a standalone Nigeria Index.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.22%, USD 1.5m

A rather active day in Harare today. This was mostly thanks to some action in the normally less liquid stocks such as Innscor (45c) and Simbisa (17.1c).
