A much better day in Lagos, but still nothing to write home about as there were a few crosses in the likes of WAPCO ($3.3m), Zenith ($3.2m), Nestle ($2.9m) and Seplat ($2.6m) that drove activity while the rest of the market remained quiet. Banks had a strong day with the sector gaining +1.18% thanks to ETI (+2.46%), Access (+1.85%), FBNH (+1.74%) and GTB (+1.64%). Consumers (-0.13%) closed slightly lower as Unilever (-4.62%) and Guinness (-1.47%) dragged the sector lower.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.46%, USD 1.37m

Some rumblings of life in the Zimbabwe market both in terms of volumes and direction. Activity was spread across a few names with the highlights being Delta (82.31c), Econet (27c) and CBZ (10c).
