Movers & Shakers: October 17, 2016


Botswana: DCI unch, USD 40k

Nothing to report from Gaborone.

Kenya: NSE 20 -0.74%, USD 2.3m

A very dull start to the week in Nairobi as foreign activity reduced to 64% while they remained net sellers to the tune of $300k. EQBNK (-1.6%) dominated what little activity there was as 3.6m shares changed hands while there was a tiny bit of activity in Safcom (-0.5%). Unfortunately there is not much else to report with volumes being so low.

Mauritius: Semdex -0.01%, USD 2.0m

A solid start to the week from an activity point of view, but this should however be taken with a pinch of salt as activity was spurred by the introduction of the Omnicane Secured Notes to the debt board. The rest of the market was extremely dull.

Nigeria: ASI -0.81%, USD 2.4m

An absolutely disastrous start to the week from an activity point of view in Lagos with turnover amounting to a dire $2.4m and not a single name breaking the $1m mark. Both major sectors closed lower with Consumers falling -1.55% while Banks fell -0.94%. One can unfortunately not read anything into this with such low volumes.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials +1.39%, USD 615k

A rather dull start to the week in Harare with some small activity in Getbucks Financial ($245k) the only name worth mentioning.
