Movers & Shakers: March 31, 2016
Botswana: DCI +0.01%, USD 8k
Nothing to report from Gaborone.
Kenya: NSE 20 +0.02%, USD 5.9m
Another very average day from an activity point of view in Nairobi as foreigners were net buyers to the tune of $2.8m for the third session in a row. Foreign demand drove Safcom higher as the telco gained +1.2% on 6.7m shares. The two major banking stocks ended the day mixed with KNCB closing unchanged while EQBNK gained +1.3%. There was some action in the usually illiquid KenolKobil and ARM as 9.5m shares and 2.2m shares changed hands in the names respectively.
Mauritius: Semdex +0.19%, USD 1.1m
A couple of crosses in MCBG (+50bps, Rs205.75) was about the only action that took place today in Port Louis.
Nigeria: ASI +0.64%, USD 9.6m
Another rather dull day on the last trading day of the first quarter of 2016 with crosses in WAPCO ($3m) and GTB ($2.2m) the only names brreaking the $1m mark while the rest of the market was very quiet. Another bad day for banking stocks as the sector fell -0.83% thanks to weakness in UBA (-2.79%) and Zenith (-1.92%) while FBNH (+5.00%) bucked the trend and closed higher. Consumers (+0.25%) managed to close in positive territory thanks to IntBrew (+7.84%).
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.45%, USD 639k
Some action in Delta (56.25c) and Seedco (64c) about the only action on yet another quiet day in Harare.
