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