Movers & Shakers: April 27, 2016


Botswana: DCI -0.10%, USD 2.01m

Action in a number of names spiced up the day in Gaborone. Activity was focused in Letshego (266t) and FNBB (358t).

Kenya: NSE 20 -0.69%, USD 3.1m

A pathetic day in Nairobi. The only real action worth noting was some action that went through in Safcom (unch, KES16.95). There were also a couple of crosses in UMME (+30bps, KES17.30) while the rest of the market was uneventful.

Mauritius: Semdex +0.07%, USD 450k

A quiet day in Mauritius. The only action that took place was in the banks with both MCBG (Rs208.00) and SBMH (Rs0.63) ending the session unchanged.

Nigeria: ASI -0.06%, USD 6.7m

Another muted day of trading in Nigeria with the complete lack of interest and direction persisting. Banks did gain 44bps with Access (+1.28%, N3.95) witnessing a number of crosses. There was also some action in FBNH (+5.31%, N3.57). Consumers were painfully quiet.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.22%, USD 47k

Nothing to report from Harare.
