Movers & Shakers: October 13, 2017


Botswana: DCI +0.11%, USD 1.10m

Not a bad way to end the week in Gaborone, but this should however be taken with a pinch of salt with all the activity taking place in an unusual name WIL which accounted for 97% of turnover

Kenya: NSE20 -0.37%, USD 8.21m

The market ended the week on a negative note with EABL (-3.6%) and KNCB (-1.33%) the major names dragging the market lower. SAFCOM (+1.01%) and KNCB accounted for a total of 70% of turnover on the day.

Mauritius: Semdex -0.10%, USD 1.35m

The indices closed the week south with both the Semdex and the Sem-10 down -10bps. Turnover was mainly geared towards MUA, MCBG and SBM altogether making up 55.8%. MUA was up 2.6% to closed atRs60.00 with 150k shares exchanging hands while MCBG (unch, Rs278) closed flat again today. SBMH closed up +0.3% at Rs7.78

Nigeria: ASI +0.32%, USD 6.31m

Zimbabwe: Industrials +3.05%, USD 10.4m

Another very active day in Harare as turnover amounted to a very impressive $10.6m. Econet ($2.97m) and Delta ($2.65m) leading proceedings.
