Movers & Shakers: May 04, 2015


Botswana: DCI +0.16%, USD 169k

A better day in Gaborone, but still nothing to write home about as total value traded amounted to $169k.

Kenya: NSE 20 -0.12%, USD 16m

A large cross (both sides local) in Liberty Insurance dominated the day as more than $7.5m changed hands in the name. Normal trading was dominated by the Big 4 with all these names seeing foreigners skewed to the buy side. KNCB closed unchanged at KES62.50 while EqBnk inched up to KES49.50 (+50bps). There were also gains for Safcom (+30bps, KES17.45) and EABL (+30bps, KES322.00).

Mauritius: Semdex -0.25%, USD 260k

Unfortunately there was nothing to report from Port Louis as turnover amounted to a paltry $260k with all of the big names very quiet.

Nigeria: ASI -0.17%, USD 32.6m

A couple of crosses lit up a generally dull day. The banks gained a solid 69bps with FBNH (+6.63%, N9.50) leading the rally. There was decent action in the likes of GTB (+35bps, N28.85) and Zenith (+99bps, N21.36). The consumers were also solid (+43bps) with all the action taking place in Nestle (unch, N950.00) and NB (+63bps, N158.00). The rest of the market was notably quiet.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.88%, USD 480k

Another slow start to the week in Harare as turniver amounted to $480k with some action in ART ZDR ($235k) the only name worth mentioning while the Industrial Index fell -0.88%.
