Some crosses spiced up proceedings in Lagos although the market still seems to be lacking any specific direction. Today we saw activity focused on the consumers (+58bps) for a change.

Zimbabwe: Industrials +1.29%, USD 2.0m

Aggressive local buyers continue to push the market higher as volumes continue to try to return to the Harare bourse. Some nice action in Delta today as the name continues to drive higher (65c).
