Movers & Shakers: January 13, 2016

Botswana: DCI -0.03%, USD 1.3m

Activity slowed down in Gaborone today but it was still rather decent thanks to some action in Letshego (3m shares), FNBB (767k shares) and Sefalana (280k shares).

Kenya: NSE 20 -0.77%, USD 6.1m

An extremely dull day in Nairobi. In fact, if it wasn’t for a local-local cross in Equity Bank the day would have been really woeful. On the back of this cross, Equity Bank was the most active stock and closed up 1.3% at KES39.25. EABL fell by 1.5% to KES271 while the rest of the market was quiet.

Mauritius: Semdex +0.35%, USD 700k

Things slowed down again today in Port Louis with some small activity in MCBG (29k shares) and SBMH (5.6m shares).

Nigeria: ASI -3.58%, USD 8.4m

A brutal battering on the Lagos bourse today. Banks (-4.74%) were the real laggards with names in the sector spending the session on net offer at limit down. The bulk of the action took place in Zenith Bank (-9.52%, N10.93). Consumers also got hit as they lost -3.36%. Both NB (-4.74%, N97.18) and Nestle (-5%, N779) got a pounding.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.55%, USD 574k

Another dull day in Harare with most of the action centered around Econet as 2.3m shares traded in the name.
