Nothing of note to report in Gaborone as the market remains dull.
Another quiet day in Nairobi as locals remain on the sidelines. The bulk of today's action was a foreign cross in Barclays (unch, KES12.95). In normal trading we saw some mild activity take place in EABL (KES298.00) and Equity Bank (KES45.25). Both names were strong.
Activity was evenly divided between MCBG (unch, Rs210.00), SBMH (-1.2%, Rs0.85) and NMH (unch, Rs18.50). The rest of the market was quiet.
The market began the session on the back foot but it did improve during the day although most of this was thanks to Dangcem which rose by 1.19% to N165.00 by the close. Banks fell by a further 2.19% during a wild day in which we saw some massive swings. The most active names were Zenith (-24bps, N16.92) and GTB (-1.20%, N23.00). Consumers gained 1.30% today thanks to a late rally in the likes of Nestle (+2.24%, N820.00) and NB (+67bps, N124.00). In the cements, outsider of Dangcem we saw some decent trading in Wapco (+1.00%, N97.00).
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
A dull session in Harare with nothing notable to report on.
