Movers & Shakers: January 05, 2016


Botswana: Data not available at the time of writing.

Kenya: NSE 20 -0.81%, USD 4.9m

General apathy across the Nairobi bourse today. There was some decent activity in Safcom (unch, KES16.35). The banks had a mixed day as KNCB rose by 1.2% to KES43.50 while Equity Bank fell by 1.2% to KES40.25. EABL gained 2.2% to KES276.00.

Mauritius: Semdex -0.08%, USD 330k

Another rather nothing day from an activity point of view with a small bit of volume in MCBG as 30k shares traded in the name while the rest of the market was dead quiet.

Nigeria: ASI -0.95%, USD 9.5m

Despite some renewed interest the market remains dull while the ASI fell by almost 1%. Banks actually closed the session in the green (+33bps) although outside of GTB (-33bps, N17.99) the sector was rather quiet. Consumers fell by a massive 2.63% with both Nestle (-1.20%, N820) and NB (-5%, N122.74) both closing lower albeit on small volumes.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.03%, USD 145k

Another dull day in Harare with some tiny activity in Econet ($77k) and Simbisa ($60k).
