Movers & Shakers: October 25, 2016


Botswana: DCI +0.01%, USD 4.8m

The main highlight of the session today was a large local cross in Choppies (305t) while there was some small activity in Sechaba (2950t) and BIHL (1732t).

Kenya: NSE 20 -0.33%, USD 2.9m

An extremely quiet day in Kenya. In fact, if it wasn’t for Equity Bank (unch, KES30.75) the market would have been practically non-existent as the banking group accounted for more than 60% of the meagre turnover.

Mauritius: Semdex -0.12%, USD 390k

Things slowed down in Port Louis today with most of the big names extremely quiet and nothing worth mentioning.

Nigeria: ASI -1.73%, N3.9m

Another pathetic day in Lagos as nothing at all happened yet again. The lack of interest was evident as both banks (-71bps) and consumers (-24bps) fell due to a lack of demand.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.47%, USD 2.7m

A very active day in Harare thanks to crosses in the likes of Econet ($1.4m), Delta ($707k) and FBCH ($445k). Delta (-4.46%) continued to come under pressure after last week’s cautionary statement.
