Movers & Shakers: January 25, 2016

Botswana: Data not available at the time of writing.

Kenya: NSE 20 +0.13%, USD 14.7m

Today was actually a very dull day and it would have been woeful if it wasn’t for a large local-local cross in KNCB (unch, KES38.50). Elsewhere in the banks there was some decent trading in both Equity Bank (-1.3%, KES38.00) and DTKL (+3.2%, KES191.00). The rest of the market was really dull with Safcom gaining 1% to KES15.25 and EABL rising by 1.6% to KES259.00.

Mauritius: Semdex -0.07%, USD 720k

Another sluggish start to the week in Port Louis with some activity in MCBG (53k shares) driving proceedings while the rest of the market was very quiet.

Nigeria: ASI +0.58%, USD 10.5m

Another lethargic day in Lagos. Banks did find a bid though as the sector gained 3.45% and continue to try and erase 2016’s losses. The sector was led by Zenith (+7.79%, N12.18) and GTB (+6.05%, N16.29). Consumers closed the day down 27bps although outside of NB (-4.81%, N102.80) the sector was incredibly quiet.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.12%, USD 1.4m

A much better start to the week in Harare thanks to some action in Econet ($1m) and Delta ($369k).
