Movers & Shakers: December 07, 2015

Botswana: DCI +0.04%, USD 356k

Some small activity in Choppies (481k shares) and Letshego (538k shares) the only names worth mentioning on a rather uneventful day.

Kenya: NSE 20 -0.02%, USD 9.2m

A couple of crosses yet again lit up a generally lethargic day in Nairobi. Foreigners remain heavily dominant in the market. The bulk of the action went through in Safcom (+1%, KES15.70), KNCB (+60bps, KES40.50) and EABL (unch, KES275). There was also some action in KNRE (+1.1%, KES22.25) and Equity Bank (unch, KES41.50).

Mauritius: Semdex -0.43%, USD 1.2m

An average start to the week in Port Louis with turnover amounting to $1.2m thanks to a cross in Rockcastle as 333k shares traded in the name while the rest of the market was very quiet.

Nigeria: ASI +0.73%, USD 12.2m

Another quiet day in Lagos with almost every stock closing in the red. The only reason for the index closing higher was Dangcem which gained +6.27% to N171.15. The banks fell by -2.40% with every name closing in the red although volumes were generally dull in the sector except for GTB (-2.00%, N19.59) and Zenith Bank (-4.74%, N15.29). The consumers also fell by -1.64% with the bulk of the action going through in NB (-2.94%, N115.50) and Unilever (+43bps, N42.00).

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

Zimbabwe: +0.18%, USD 340k

Another slow start to the week in Harare with some small activity in Afdis ($144k).
