Movers & Shakers: April 04, 2016

Botswana: DCI +0.05%, USD 101k

Nothing to report from Gaborone.

Kenya: NSE 20 +0.30%, USD 4.1m

A very dull start to the week in Nairobi as locals remain on the sidelines. Almost the entire action today took place in EABL which has actually had a couple of quiet weeks. The brewer slid by 70bps to KES281 on the back of some foreign crossing. Elsewhere there was some gentle activity in Safcom (-30bps, KES16.80) while the rest of the market was dead.

Mauritius: Semdex -0.03%, USD 720k

Another sub-par start to the week in Port Louis with some action in Alteo the only name worth mentioning as 575k shares changed hands.

Nigeria: ASI -0.62%, USD 8.2m

The lack of interest in the Nigerian bourse continues as volumes remain woefully inadequate. Both the banks (-86bps) and consumers (-2.33%) lost ground yet again. Banks were led, as usual, by GTB (-1.96%, N14.01) and Zenith (-91bps, N10.88). Consumers were dragged lower by NB (-3.55%, N102.61) although volumes across the board were uneventful.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.08%, USD 256k

Another slow day in Harare with some small activity in Simbisa ($125k) and SeedCo ($101k) while the market continues to drift lower.
