Movers & Shakers: October 16, 2017
Botswana: DCI -0.06%, USD 91.3k
A quiet day in Gaborone today with some small activity in BIHL, Choppies and Barclays.
Kenya: NSE 20 -0.08%, USD 1.95m
Not the best way to start the week in Kenya, as political uncertainty crept into the stock market seeing the Shilling weaken to 0.77% year to date while foreigners were 59% total market purchases. Not one of today’s top counters broke the $1m mark with KCB (unch, KES37.00) accounting for more than 27% of total turnover, Equity (unch, KES36.00) and EABL (unch, KES241.00) the only names worth mentioning on a dire day in Nairobi.
Mauritius: Semdex -0.31%, USD 2.04m
The indices opened the week lower with, the Semdex down -31bps and the Sem-10 down -48bpds. MCBG (-1.3%, Rs274.50) after releasing an announcement after court judgment about its link to the NPF fraud fourteen years ago accounted for 82% of turnover with 208.0k shares traded of which 192k were foreign sales.
Nigeria: ASI +0.33%, USD 7.58m
A slight improvement from last week’s close on the bourse today seeing the indices have mixed reactions with the financial sector closing +0.24% firmer and the consumers closing -0.31% softer. GTB (+0.24%, $2.7m) leading the way with a few massive crosses accounting for 35% of the market. Zenith (+3.14%, $913k), Presco (+0.75%, $857k) and UBA (-0.11%, $657k) the other counters contributing to the assistance of today’s total market turnover.
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
Zimbabwe: Industrials +1.45%, USD 4.81m
The industrial index opened the week up +1.45% to 512.67 points supported by gains in Barclays (4%), Delta (5%), FMHL (11%) and Hippo (3%). Delta ($2.87m) and Econet ($1.28m) were the most actively traded counters.
