Movers & Shakers: February 26, 2015
Botswana: DCI +0.01%, USD 131k
Slight increase in activity as Sefalana had the largest turnover. The counter traded a total of 86k shares to close at 1010t
Kenya: NSE 20 +0.14%, USD 10.95m
A big day in Namibia although foreign participation still remains on the low side. There was a chunky cross in ARML (local buyer, foreign seller) while in normal trading we saw some decent activity in the banks. EqBnk (-1.8%, KES55.00) and KNCB (-80bps, KES59.00) were both driven lower by foreign selling. Safcom (-90bps, KES15.75) and EABL (-4.2%, KES318.00) were also soft in general trading.
Mauritius: Semdex +0.39%, USD 670k
Indices maintained their upward trend, closing in the green for the fourth consecutive day this week. MCBG traded a total of 55k shares to close down at Rs206.25. NMB declined by 0.8% during the session, as 1.6k shares were exchanged at Rs66.00. SBM managed to close flat at Rs1.00 on 1.2m shares exchanged.
Nigeria: ASI -0.50%, USD 22.9m
Crosses continue to dominate the landscape in Lagos. Banks (-1.83%) reversed some of their recent strength with notable softness in UBA (-4.92%, N3.48), Zenith (-4.00%, N18.00) and Access (-4.89%, N6.23). The consumers (-10bps) were also marginally soft with almost all the action taking place in NB (-1.62%, N135.51), UACN (+6.82%, N41.49) and Unilever (+55bps, N34.50). In the cement there was a decent sized cross in Wapco (-48bps, N85.00).
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.07%, USD 707k
CBZ accounted the lions share of total market turnover, as the counter traded a staggering 5.9m shares, closing at 10c. Unfortunately the rest of the market saw thin trades, in the likes of Econet, Delta and OK Zim, just to name a few.
