Mauritius: Semdex -0.19%, USD 180k

A slight improvement on a weak day in Mauritius with all the indices closing mostly in the red as turnover amounted to Rs31.1m geared towards MCBG (unch, Rs274.50) making 62% of the market which was driven by foreign investors. The market was helped along by Medine (unch, Rs67.00) and SBM (+0.3%, Rs7.76).

Nigeria: ASI -0.08%, USD 8.16m

The market continued its downward trend with only the Consumers and Industrials not closing lower. Guaranty accounted for 53% of turnover with 20m shares crossed in the name shortly after it announced its Q3 earnings. It was otherwise a pretty drab day.
