Movers & Shakers: May 09, 2017
Botswana: Data not available at the time of writing
Kenya: NSE 20 -0.40%, USD 4.6m
A quiet and soft day in Nairobi. Safcom was still the most active stock on the bourse despite its expected numbers out tomorrow. The telco finally retreated and dropped by 1.22%. There was some mild trading in KNCB whilst the rest of the market was non-existent.
Mauritius: Semdex +0.30%, USD 1.47m
MCBG reached yet another all-time high as it rose by 70bps to Rs231.50 ahead of its release of quarterly numbers on Monday. The name is now up 7.7% YTD. There was also some decent volume in SBMH (unch, Rs7.60). Some statistics out showed that tourist arrivals rose by an impressive 21.1% in April 2017 compared to April 2016.
Nigeria: ASI +1.28%, USD 8.9m
The trend of local selling and foreign buying in the banks continues unabated. The sector rose by 2.18% with some decent volumes going through while all Tier 1 names closed in the green. Once again the chunkiest trades went through in Zenith Bank (+1.17%, N16.40) and GTB (+1.66%, N27.50). Consumers rose by a more somber 69bps while volumes remain light in the sector.
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.10%, USD 300k
Nothing overly exciting to report from the ZSE.
