Movers & Shakers: February 26, 2016

Botswana: DCI -0.08%, USD 308k

Some small activity in Sefalana the only highlight of the day as 130k shares traded.

Kenya: NSE 20 +0.12%, USD 1.8m

The market continues to plumb new depths in terms of market activity with less than $2m changing hands, and of that foreigner participants were hardly involved. There honestly was nothing of interest to write home about.

Mauritius: Semdex +0.23%, USD 750k

Not much on the go to end the week in Port Louis with some activity in MCBG the only name worth mentioning as 57k shares traded.

Nigeria: ASI +0.77%, USD 8.6m

Another dire day in Lagos with only a couple of last minute international book-overs giving any semblance of decency to the day’s proceedings. The banks (+77bps) continued to bounce from earlier in the week although volumes are still dire in the sector. The only decent trading took place in GTB (-1.00%, N15.90). The consumers were also strong (+1.10%) but the sector was incredibly thinly traded.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.07%, USD 107k

Nothing much to report from Harare with turnover amounting to a dull $107k.
