A much quieter day in Gaborone with some activity in Letshego (814k shares) the only name worth mentioning.
Another ridiculously quiet day in Nairobi in the absence of the previous day’s bookovers. Foreign activity remains quiet and skewed to the buy side.
Things slowed down in Port Louis today as turnover amounted to $1.1m with most of the action centered around MCBG (153k shares) as the name accounted for 78% of activity. Tourist arrivals increased 13.3% in September (from the previous year).
The Nigerian bourse continues to underwhelm with the market barely breaking a sweat in today’s session. The banks fell by 64bps although outside of Zenith Bank (-1.53%, N16.05) and GTB (-17bps, N23.00) the sector was dull. There was an early cross in Dangcem (unch, N167.00) while the consumers (+21bps) were eerily quiet.
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
A much better day in Harare as turnover amounted to $2.2m thanks to crosses in Econet ($1.2m), Delta ($455k) and OK Zim ($263k).
