Egypt: EGX 30 +1.61%, USD 125m
The Egyptian market is on the rise again, with the real estate sector regaining its bullish momentum to drive the market higher.

Kenya: NSE 20 +2.40%, USD 9.5m
Another rather solid day in Nairobi from an activity point of view with turnover amounting to $9.5m.

Foreign buying (71.1%) drove Safcom +0.8% higher as 6.2m shares changed hands in the telco. KNCB was also rather active as local investors dominated proceedings in the name.
