Kenya: NSE 20 -0.18%, USD 2.3m

In the absence of any large blocks we had an incredibly quiet day in Nairobi. Foreigners were also painfully quiet. The most active stock was KNCB which slipped by 80bps to KES32.25 while the rest of the market was extremely quiet.

Mauritius: Semdex +0.24%, USD 1.73m

Once again MCBG dominated the volumes in Mauritius with the banking group closing unchanged at Rs207.75. The rest of the market was quiet.

Nigeria: ASI +0.64%, USD 8.2m

Another pathetic day in Lagos as volumes once again underwhelmed. The index did rise slightly thanks to both Banks (+1.28%) and Consumers (+93bps). However, outside of GTB (+1.58%, N25.65) and NB (+1.44%, N140.00) the market was deathly quiet.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.03%, USD 47k

The Zimbabwe market continues to inch closer and closer to becoming the new Lusaka Stock Exchange as volumes continue to dwindle alarmingly.
