Movers & Shakers: April 11, 2016


Botswana: DCI -0.03%, USD 83k

Nothing notable took place today in Gaborone.

Kenya: NSE 20 -1.02%, USD 3.2m

A quiet start to the week in Nairobi. In fact, if it wasn't for 1 chunky cross (both sides foreign) in KNCB (unch, KES42.00) the market would have recorded excruciatingly low volumes. The rest of the market was dead.

Mauritius: Semdex -0.07%, USD 290k

An extremely quiet start to the week in Mauritius. In fact, nothing worth noting as volumes remain at extremely low levels.

Nigeria: ASI -2.68%, USD 3.8m

The Nigerian market has now surely reached rock bottom. Volumes were practically non-existent with a total lack of interest permeating across the entire market. Banks fell by 3.75% while consumers dropped by 1.71%. There were no stocks that traded anything of significance.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.46%, USD 628k

Today we saw some scrappy trading across a number of names although nothing special stood out from the crowd. The ZSE remains lackluster.
