Movers & Shakers: May 03, 2017


Botswana: DCI +0.03%, USD 182k

Nothing much to note from a generally lackluster day.

Kenya: NSE 20 -0.16%, USD 4.5m

Yet another rather dull day in Kenya with just Safcom keeping the lights on. The telco rose by 26bps to KES19.60 and accounted for more than 60% of the total market turnover. There was nothing else worth writing home about.

Mauritius: Semdex -0.05%, USD 476k

A quiet day in Port Louis. The usual suspects were all quiet with only Ciel (unch, Rs48.00) seeing any action.

Nigeria: ASI +0.59%, USD 9.4m

Once again it was all about the banks with foreign buying (and local selling) in the Tier 1 names most evident. The sector gained 1.45% with GTB (unch, N27.00) and Zenith (+1.62%, N15.70) both seeing some decent crossing. The consumers inched slightly higher albeit on small volumes.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.01%, USD 1.7m

Once again local investors heavily dominant on the ZSE. Today was the turn of Nicoz Diamonds and BAT with most other names painfully dull.
