Movers & Shakers: September 21, 2016
Botswana: DCI +0.26%, USD 693k
Outside of some mild action in Letshego (230t) there was nothing exciting to report from Gaborone.
Kenya: NSE 20 -0.69%, USD 3.5m
Another dull and uneventful day in Nairobi. The only stock that showed any decent form was Safcom which closed at KES19.35 (+1.0%). In economic news from yesterday, the Central Bank reduced interest rates from 10.5% to 10%.
Mauritius: Semdex +0.13%, USD 980k
The Mauritian bourse inched higher although volumes remain on the low side. It was standard operating procedure with MCBG (+40bps, Rs211.00) once again seeing the lion’s share of trading activity.
Nigeria: ASI +0.02%, USD 9.5m
Despite an uptick in the trading volumes the market still remains below historical norms and direction remains rudderless. Banks closed marginally in the green with GTB (-85bps, N26.77) and Zenith (+2.74%, N15.00) seeing some decent crossing. Consumers slipped by 62bps with Unilever (+4bps, N45.52) once again witnessing the bulk of the trades. There was also some late action in NB (-91bps, N142.04).
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.01%, USD 63k
Nothing to report from Harare.
