Movers & Shakers: July 03, 2015

Botswana: DCI -0.05%, USD 182k

Another dull day in Gaborone with turnover amounting to $182k as Engen accounted for 63% of activity.

Kenya: NSE 20 -0.56%, USD 2.3m

An extremely slow day to end the week in Nairobi as turnover amounted to $2.3m with foreigners strangely enough dominating proceedings (68.5%). EQBNK ($1.47m) dominated what little activity there was thanks to a foreign cross while the other market heavyweights were very quiet.

Mauritius: Semdex -0.09%, USD 350k

Port Louis followed the rest of the markets with an eerily quiet day. The market was generally soft across the board.

Nigeria: ASI -0.61%, USD 7.7m

Another dire day in terms of activity thanks to the holiday in the U.S with turnover amounting to a paltry $7.7m with a cross in Zenith ($1.53m) the only name worth mentioning and the only counter to break the $1m in turnover mark. Banks closed the day lower with the sector falling -0.56% thanks to losses in UBA (-2.23%) and ETI (-1.14%). Consumers (-0.19%) also closed lower thanks to Dangote Flour (-4.74%).

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.02%, USD 203k

Today the ZSE officially became an automated trading system (as per earlier email). However, this did not help the ZSE as volumes remain low and sentiment remains dire.
