Another slow day in Gaborone.
Activity slowed down in Nairobi today, but it was still relatively decent with some foreign driven action in Safcom ($3.9m) leading the way as the telco closed +1.3% higher. There was finally some action in EABL ($1.1m) as the brewer closed +1.3% higher on local demand. Elsewhere, the other big names were rather quiet.
A very spicy day in Port Louis. Action was diversified across a number of names. Top traders included MCBG (+40bps, Rs241.00), ENL Land (+10bps, Rs49.50), Attitude Property (+2.0%, Rs17.70) and CIM Financial Services (+90bps, Rs9.00).
The renewed foreign interest in the Nigerian market continued today with some solid action in Seplat ($10.6m), NB ($5.1m), Zenith ($3.5m), Nestle ($2.1m) and DangCem ($2m). Banks continued on their latest run with the sector closing +3.22% higher thanks to UBA (+7.85%) and Zenith (+5.09%). Consumers (-0.57%) closed the day lower with some pressure on NB (-1.86%) dragging the sector lower.
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
Another impressively active day in Zimbabwe with Econet (unch, 21c) leading the way yet again.
