Movers & Shakers: October 28, 2014
Botswana: DSE -0.16%, USD 1.16m
A large cross of 5m shares in Turnstar helped boost activity as the name accounted for 94% of total activity with turnover amounting to USD 1.16m while the rest of the market was quiet.
Kenya: NSE 20 -0.22%, USD 7.3m
A rather average day in Nairobi as turnover amounted to $7.3m with local investors accounting for 61.6% of activity. Foreigners (97.2%) dominated sales in EQBNK as the name closed unchanged at KES 50.50 on 4.75m shares. Activity was pretty evenly split between locals and foreigners in Safcom as 11.8m shares traded in the telco. KNCB had a very solid day and managed to gain +1.9% on the back of local interest.
Mauritius: Semdex +0.04%, USD 1.25m
A dull day in Mauritius. MCB dripped slightly lower as it closed at Rs 208.75 (-12bps). SBMH closed unchanged at Rs1.04.
Nigeria : ASI -1.13%, USD 17m
An extremely dull day from an activity point of view in Lagos as turnover amounted to $17m. There was some activity in the likes of Zenith ($2.09m), GTB ($1.86m), FBNH ($1.67m) and TOTAL ($1.17m). Banks took some strain as the Index fell -2.23% with FBNH (-4.21%), UBA (-3.78%), Zenith (-3.30%) and GTB (-2.06%) dragging the sector lower. Consumers (-1.49%) were also weak with Dangote Sugar (-4.93%), IntBrew (-3.48%), NB (-2.94%) and Guinness (-2.63%) coming under pressure.
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.03%, USD 1.87m
Some life in the dull Harare bourse for a change thanks to a chunky cross in Seedco (90c). There was also a little bit of activity in NTS (2.50c) and Econet (70c) while Delta remains very quiet.
