Movers & Shakers: October 24, 2016


Botswana: Data not available.

Kenya: NSE 20 +0.35%, USD 4.3m

Not much on the go in Nairobi as EABL (unch) accounted for 63% of total value traded with 1m shares changing hands in the brewer. Safcom (+1.5%) ended the day much stronger, but on very thin volume as 4.9m shares traded in the telco. The rest of the market was dead quiet.

Mauritius: Semdex +0.01%, USD 1.1m

The MCB India Sovereign Bond accounted for more than 71% of total market turnover. Normal trading was extremely quiet.

Nigeria: ASI -0.08%, USD 3.3m

Another absolutely dire day to start the week in Lagos as there was not a single name to break the $1m mark yet again. Both major sectors closed the day lower with banks falling -0.25% while consumers closed -0.02% lower. Zenith closed the day +1.69% higher after reporting Q3 2016 results.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -1.63%, USD 552k

The index finally retreated although this was all thanks to an extremely tiny trade in Delta as the brewer fell to 78.5c. The rest of the market was dull except for some action in Innscor (31.15c).
