Movers & Shakers: April 25, 2016

Botswana: DCI +0.09%, USD 32k

Nothing to report from Gaborone.

Kenya: NSE 20 +0.23%, USD 2.1m

It was a very quiet day in Nairobi as local investors dominated proceedings. There was a decent (relatively speaking) cross in I&M Bank with the buyer being foreign while the seller was local as 600k shares changed hands. Unfortunately there is not much to report in the usual market heavyweights as activity was extremely thin in the names.

Mauritius: Semdex -0.12%, USD 670k

Not much on the go on the first trading day of the week in Port Louis with some activity in MCBG the only name worth mentioning as 54k shares traded.

Nigeria: ASI -0.34%, USD 3.8m

We are really starting to plumb new depths in Lagos with turnover amounting to a dire $3.8m. Whatever little activity there was was dominated by Access ($1m) after they released Q1 2016 results. Banking stocks closed the day slightly higher with the sector gaining +0.25% thanks to Access (+1.83%) and GTB (+1.13%). Consumers (+0.15%) closed in positive territory thanks to NB (+0.37%).

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.35%, USD 572k

The market continued its rally with the Industrial Index gaining +0.35% with some activity in Dawn ($262k) and Zimre ($241k) while the market heavyweights were very quiet.
