Movers & Shakers: September 08, 2016


Botswana: DCI -0.03%, USD 915k

Not a bad day in terms of activity in Gaborone thanks to Choppies and Engen as 1.6m shares and 400k shares traded in the names respectively.

Kenya: NSE 20 +0.37%, USD 5.8m

A much more muted session today in Nairobi as we didn’t see many crosses going through. Foreign participation was also much reduced. The major action went through in KNCB (+90bps, KES27.00) and Safcom (unch, KES19.00). The rest of the market was dull.

Mauritius: Semdex -0.10%, USD 2.4m

A very impressive day thanks once again to MCBG as 358k shares changed hands in the name while the rest of the market remains quiet.

Nigeria: ASI +0.19%, USD 5.5m

Another “nothing” day in Nigeria. There was no clear direction in either banks (+23bps) or consumers (-97bps) while volumes remain woeful.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.40%, USD 122k

Nothing to report from Harare as the lack of interest continues.
