Movers & Shakers: August 05, 2016

Botswana: DCI -0.01%, USD 56k

Another day with nothing to report from Gaborone.

Kenya: NSE 20 +0.51%, USD 11.8m

A very active day to end the week in Nairobi, but this should however be taken with a pinch of salt as a large foreign cross in BATK (+3.4%) accounted for 69.9% of turnover with 969k shares changing hands in the name. There was also some decent activity in Safcom as 11.5m shares changed hands with the telco gaining +0.8% on foreign demand. Local demand drove KNCB +1.6% higher as 2m shares traded on the day.

Mauritius: Semdex +0.03%, USD 1m

An average day from a turnover point of view to end the week in Port Louis with SBMH and MCBG driving proceedings as 11.6m shares and 25k shares changing hands in the names respectively.

Nigeria: ASI -1.17%, USD 4.2m

From bad to worse in Lagos from an activity point of view with IntBrew ($1.1m) the only name to break the $1m turnover mark. Banking stocks took some strian with the sector closing -2.72% lower with weakness in GTB (-3.22%) and Zenith (-1.96%). Consumers (-0.54%) closed slightly lower on very thin volume.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.13%, USD 178k

Another underwhelming day in Harare to end the week with CBZ ($83k) and Innscor ($78k) the only names worth mentioning.
