Movers & Shakers: July 14, 2016

Botswana: DCI -0.60%, USD 380k

A better day in Gaborone, but still nothing to write home about with FNBB the only name worth mentioning as 1m shares traded in the name.

Kenya: NSE 20 -0.17%, USD 11.4m

A massive day in Nairobi although the weakness still persists. The main contributor was a foreign-foreign cross in Equity Bank (more than $6m changed hands) with the bank closing down 1.6% at KES38.50. The other big names also saw some decent action with Safcom (+30bps, KES17.40) closing higher while both KNCB (-1.5%, KES32.25) and EABL (-40bps, KES269) ended the day in the red.

Mauritius: +0.36%, USD 2.0m

Another very active day in Port Louis thanks once again to MCBG as 193k shares traded with the name accounting for more than 50% of turnover while there was also some small action in SBMH as 12m shares changed hands.

Nigeria: ASI -0.10%, USD 8.9m

Another woeful day in Lagos as the interest continues to wane. The index slipped further mostly on the back of the banks which fell by a further 1.45% today. Today the only decent activity we saw was in Zenith which closed at N16.15 (-92bps). Consumers actually closed up 40bps although outside of NB (+71bps, N134.00) the sector was dead. There was also some crossing in Dangcem (unch, N190.00).

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.95%, USD 55k

Another horrible day in Harare with nothing to report.
