Another chunky day in Nairobi although trading activity was heavily dominated by locals.

Locals also participated heavily in both Co-op Bank (+1.6%, KES12.50) and Barclays (+4.1%, KES8.80).

Mauritius: Closed for the day.

Nigeria: ASI -0.54%, USD 4.9m

Another dull day in Lagos as sentiment across the board remains soft. We saw some renewed trading activity in the Consumers (-1.62%) with Nestle (-3.34%, N624.40) and NB (-98bps, N128.73) both touching 4 year lows during the session. Banks dropped by 43bps although outside of Zenith (+7bps, N15.01) the sector was quiet.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -1.41%, USD 1.1m

A much better day in Harare on the activity front thanks to some action in Delta ($659k) and Econet ($315k).
