Much of the same in Gaborone.
A dull day to end a rather dreadful week from an activity point of view with a foreign cross in EABL (+1.6%) the only name worth mentioning as 491k shares traded in the brewer. The two major banking stocks ended the week mixed with KNCB falling -0.9% while EQBNK closed unchanged. Not much on the go in Safcom as a dire 2.7m shares traded in the telco.
MCBG saved the day once again as 123k shares changed hands in the name while the rest of the market heavyweights remain painfully quiet.
Another dull day on the shorted trading week in Lagos with a cross in NB ($1.7m) the only name with some form of activity. Banking stocks managed to close the day slightly higher with the sector gaining +0.57% after trading most of the day in negative territory, thanks to a late rally in GTB (+2.08%). Consumers (+1.55%) had a rather solid day thanks to NB (+2.38%). August CPI data showed that consumer prices increased +17.6%.
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
A better day in Harare to end the week, but still nothing nowhere near to get excited about, with some small activity in Delta ($245k) and Econet ($130k).
