Movers & Shakers: January 14, 2015
Botswana: DCI Data not available
Kenya: NSE 20 +1.09%, USD 5.7m
Turnover finally showed some signs of life in Nairobi thanks to some increased participation from foreign investors. Strong foreign buying in Safcom (+1%, KES14.85) and KNCB (+2.6%, KES59.00) were the main drivers of the market both in terms of direction and turnover. There was also improved activity in the likes of Equity Bank (+1.5%, KES50.50), Centum (+5.3%, KES69.00) and EABL (unch, KES305).
Mauritius: Semdex -0.34%, USD 2.5m
MCBG and NMH accounted for 56.4% of total volume traded. MCBG traded 165k shares closing at a price of Rs195 while NMH saw a cross of 167k shares to close at Rs76. PBL continued its run, reaching a new all time high of Rs255, while the rest of the counters hobbled behind.
Nigeria: ASI -3.84%, USD 20.8m
The red screens continue unabated in Nigeria while volumes remain on the thin side. Banks fell by 4.46% as selling in every name in the sector took place. Activity was focused on the likes of Zenith (-4.99%, N15.60) and GTB (-4.94%, N18.30). Consumers (-55bps) were also soft although a strong outperformance in PZ (+10%, N27.21) gave the sector a leg up. The bulk of the activity took place in NB (-72bps, N138.00) and Nestle (-6bps, N798.50). Dangcem saw some good action today yet also took a pounding as it fell by 9.19% to N151.10. The oil sector saw some decent trading with Oando (+2.42%, N16.50) and Forte Oil (+2.02%, N227.00) leading the way.
