Movers & Shakers: September 20 , 2016


Botswana: DCI +0.69%, USD 1.9m

Some solid action in Letshego finally got the market going in Gaborone as 8.8m shares changed hands in the name.

Kenya: NSE 20 -0.83%, USD 4.7m

Yet another quiet session on the Kenyan bourse. There were only really 2 stocks that traded any modicum of volume today. These were KNCB (-1.9%, KES26.00) and Safcom (+80bps, KES19.15). The rest of the market was extremely quiet.

Mauritius: Semdex +0.12%, USD 330k

A very dull day in Port Louis in the absence of any action in MCBG.

Nigeria: ASI +1.33%, USD 7.9m

A late cross in Unilever (-1.11%, N45.50) was the highlight on yet another dull and uneventful day in Lagos. Outside of this cross the market was rather rudderless except for Dangcem (+1.83%, N183.00) which drove the market direction. However, please note that this was on small volumes. Banks (+13bps) and consumers (-7bps) were both generally dull. Highlights in the banks was GTB (-37bps, N27.00) while NB (-1bp, N143.35) was the highlight in the consumers outside of Unilever. In economic news the MPC left interest rates unchanged at 14% as expected.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.06%, USD 1m

A much better day in Harare thanks to some action in Delta ($912k) while the rest of the market remains dead quiet.
