Movers & Shakers: November 24, 2016


Botswana: DCI -0.01%, USD 57k

Nothing exciting to report from Gaborone.

Kenya: NSE 20 +0.31%, USD 5.4m

Once again the market was heavily dominated by Safcom (-30bps, KES19.95) as the telco once again accounted for for a large chunk (65%) of the total market turnover. There was also a cross in the normally illiquid Co-op Bank while the rest of the large caps were extremely quiet.

Mauritius: Semdex -0.14%, USD 1.49m

The index dipped marginally on reasonable volumes today. As always, the major trading activity went through in MCBG (unch, Rs214.00) and SBMH (-90bps, Rs6.90) while Air Mauritius (-1.3%, Rs15.00) also saw some decent action for a change.

Nigeria: ASI -10bps, USD 3.6m

Yet another uneventful day in Nigeria as volumes and interest in the market remain at all-time lows. The banks did tick higher by 15bps although outside of some small crosses in GTB (+99bps, N21.52) the sector was quiet. Consumers ended the day down 13bps although outside of an early cross in Intbrew (-4.10%, N18.70) there was absolutely nothing happening in the sector.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.64%, USD 517k

The ZSE continues to run along its merry way with local demand still pushing most names higher, albeit most of the time on smallish volumes.
