Outside of some mild action in Letshego (230t) there was nothing exciting to report from Gaborone.
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%.
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.
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.
Nothing to report from Harare.
