Movers & Shakers: January 27, 2017


Botswana: DCI -0.47%, USD 105k

Nothing special to note from the Botswana bourse.

Kenya: NSE 20 -0.40%, USD 6.3m

Nothing exceptional to note except that foreign activity was heavily skewed to the buy side. As has been the case recently, turnover was heavily dependent on EABL (-50bps, KES219.00) and Safcom (+80bps, KES18.40). There was some mild trading in KNCB (-4.0%, KES 24.00) while the rest of the market was dead.

Mauritius: Semdex +0.91%, USD 1.15m

Yet another uninspiring day in Port Louis. And strangely, today’s turnover was driven by 2 normally illiquid stocks – Lux Island Resorts (+40bps, Rs59.25) and Ciel Ltd (unch, Rs6.30).

Nigeria: ASI +0.15%, USD 7.1m

The Lagos bourse remains pitiful, absolutely pitiful. Besides 1 cross in GTB (-61bps, N24.35) and NB (-33bps, N142.03) there was nothing going on while the market itself remains rudderless.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.41%, USD 526k

A better day in Harare, but still nothing to write home about, with some activity in Old Mutual ($479k) the only name worth mentioning.
