Movers & Shakers: October 21, 2016


Botswana: DCI unch, USD 42k

Nothing to report from Gaborone.

Kenya: NSE 20 -1.10%, USD 5.1m

A better day than what we have seen over the rest of the week, after yesterday's public holiday, but still rather slow going. This should however be taken with a pinch of salt as Safcom ($3.4m) accounted for the bulk of turnover. The other big names KNCB ($913k), EABL ($227k) and EQBNK ($151k) were very quiet.

Mauritius: Semdex +0.08%, USD 3.7m

Activity continued to impress in Port Louis thanks to a cross of 283k MCB India Soverign Bonds while the rest of the market was extremely quiet.

Nigeria: ASI -0.01%, USD 2.0m

It was an absolutely woeful day to end the week in Lagos as foreign interest continues to wane with not a single name breaking the $1m mark. BOoh major sectors closed the day lower with banks closing -0.31% in the red while consumers closed -0.23% lower.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.05%, USD 335k

A rather slow end to what has been another good week in Harare from both an activity and performance point of view. There was some small activity in Innscor ($159k), while the rest of the market was dead quiet.
