Movers & Shakers: October 12, 2016


Botswana: DCI +0.02%, USD 67k

Nothing to report from Botswana.

Kenya: NSE 20 +0.16%, USD 5.4m

Once again we witnessed just a couple of crosses liven up a mostly dull session. The major action went through in KNCB (unch, KES27.00) with foreign participants heavily skewed to the buy side. There was also a nice cross in BMBC (+5.3%, KES160.00) while the rest of the market was rather dull.

Mauritius: Semdex -0.09%, USD 1.76m

A nice cross in SBMH (unch, Rs0.70) was the major highlight today in Port Louis. There was also some decent action in Ciel (-30bps, Rs5.96) and to a lesser extent MCBG (-40bps, Rs222.00).

Nigeria: ASI -0.03%, USD 4.5m

The dismal sentiment continues unabated in Nigeria. Once again we saw no clear direction in either the banks (+68bps) or the consumers (-57bps) as activities remain inadequate. The only action today was in GTB (+63bps, N24.00) which accounted for about half the total market turnover.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials +1.44%, USD 607k

Aggressive local buying continues to push the index higher in Harare although activity was more muted today.
