Botswana: DCI -0.11%, USD 3k

Nothing to report from Gaborone.

Kenya: NSE 20 -0.11%, USD 2.6m

An extremely quiet start to the week in Nairobi as the northern hemisphere holiday season continues to impact volumes. What little activity there was, was dominated by crosses in SCAN and EABL as 6.3m shares and 167k shares changed hands in the names respectively. The two major banking stocks ended the day unchanged, while Safcom's recent run continued with the telco closing +1.3% higher.

Mauritius: Closed for the day.

Nigeria: ASI +0.26%, USD 6.4m

Much of the same in Lagos today from an activity point of view with crosses in Zenith ($2.1m) and WAPCO ($1.1m) the only names worth mentioning. Banking stocks came under some pressure with the sector falling -1.66% thanks to losses in Zenith (-1.96%) and GTB (-0.37%). Consumers (+0.86%) managed to close in positive territory thanks to a decent performance in NB (+1.85%).

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials unch, USD 119k

Nothing extremely dull start to the week in Harare with nothing of any substance to report.
