Another quiet day in Gaborone today with BIHL accounting for 94% of turnover.
Another quiet day in Kenya as the index closed higher, with KNCB ($638k), EQBNK ($365k) and BMBC ($364k) the most active names on the day. Foreign participation was down to 55%.
Another solid day on the activity front in Port Louis, thanks to some action in GRIT as 2.0m shares exchanged hands driven by a foreign purchase. There was also some action in CIEL and SBM which traded 1.26m and 757k shares respectively.
A decent day in Nigeria due to decent trades in Guaranty (-1.16%, $2.96m), Zenith (-2.04%, $3.91m), Access (+1.33%, $1.93m) and Nestle (+0.82%, $2.90m). Banking stocks had a solid day, but it must be said that there was a sell-off from the day's highs into the close as the sector closed -0.99% lower. Consumers saw a +0.41% rise also closing in positive territory on low volume.
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
Block trades in bankers CBZH (307k) and ZBFH (302k) drove the daily turnover today in a session with high demand in almost all stocks.
