Movers & Shakers: February 06, 2017

Botswana: DCI -0.62%, USD 52k

Nothing to report from Gaborone.

Kenya: NSE 20 +0.20%, USD 8.7m

Once again some aggressive foreign buying was the main catalyst on the Kenyan bourse, and once again the bulk of the action went through in Safcom with foreign crossing on both sides of the equation. The telco ended the day up 1.3% at KES18.90. We also saw some decent trading in KNCB (+1.0%, KES24.50) and Co-op Bank (unch, KES11.35) while the rest of the market was rather dull.

Mauritius: Semdex +0.20%, USD 1.3m

A solid start to the week in Port Louis with some action in MCBG as per usual leading the way as 160k shares changed hands in the name while the rest of the market was quiet.

Nigeria: ASI -0.83%, USD 2.8m

A woeful start to the week from an activity point of view with not a single name coming close to the $1m mark. Banking stocks closed the day -0.96% lower thanks to Zenith (-1.48%), while consumers closed +0.02% higher on tiny volume.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.39%, USD 71k

An absolutely dire day in Harare.
