Movers & Shakers: April 06, 2016

Botswana: DCI +0.01%, USD 317k

An average day in Gaborone with some action in Choppies and NAP driving proceedings as 324k shares and 400k shares changed hands in the names respectively.

Kenya: NSE 20 +0.33%, USD 1.4m

An absolutely pathetic day from an activity point of view with turnover amounting to a paltry $1.4m. There was a tiny bit of activity in Safcom as 2.6m shares traded while the rest of the market was frighteningly quiet.

Mauritius: Semdex -0.10%, USD 640k

A sub-par day from an activity point of view in Port Louis with nothing to report in the heavyweights as we saw small volumes in most of the names.

Nigeria: ASI +0.04%, USD 4.4m

Things continue to get worse from an activity and interest point of view as turnover amounted to a dire $4.4m with small activity in GTB ($1.3m) the only name worth mentioning. Banking stocks closed the day lower with the sector falling -0.31% thanks to UBA (-2.48%). Consumers managed to close +0.49% higher thanks to NB (+1.32%).

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.09%, $676k

Some activity in FBC ($251k), Simbisa ($188k) and Padenga ($104k) the only names worth mentioning on another dull day in Harare.
