Kenya: NSE 20 +0.02%, USD 8.5m

The main action in Nairobi today was Equity Bank as a large cross (foreign seller, local buyer) highlighted the day. The banking group closed down 2.6% at KES46.00. There was some local crossing in Centum (+80bps, KES65.00) while KNCB gained 2.8% to KES56.00. EABL finally showed some resilience as it closed up 1.1% at KES280.00 despite foreign buying.

Mauritius: Semdex +0.44%, USD 710k

Another slow day in Port Louis as turnover amountd to $710k with MCBG (31k shares) and SBMH (5.1m shares) very quiet.

Nigeria: ASI -0.20%, USD 15m

Another generally muted session with the lack of interest pushing the market lower. Banks fell by 72bps with almost the entire action focused on Zenith (+37bps, N19.07) and GTB (-67bps, N26.62). Consumers were even harder hit as they lost 1.41% although action in the sector was incredibly dull.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.28%, USD 479k

A better day in Harare but still nothing to write home about as turnover amounted to $479k with some action in Innscor ($167k) the only name worth mentioning.
