Some chunky crossing in Rockcastle (-4.6%, Rs2.26) was the main story in town today. The rest of the market was uneventful.
Nigeria: ASI +0.80%, USD 7.6m
It was a very dull day in Lagos with a small bit of activity in FBNH ($1.5m), Zenith ($1.3m) and GTB ($1.2m) while the rest of the market was dead quiet. Banking stocks managed to close higher after yesterday's sell-off with the sector gaining +0.73% thanks to gains in ETI (+3.17%) and Access (+1.96%). Consumers (+0.76%) also closed higher, albeit on small volume thanks to NB (+1.84%). The MPC maintained both the MPR and CRR at 12% and 22.50% respectively. They also stated that it was time to introduce flexibility into the FX market.
