Movers & Shakers: July 18, 2016

Botswana: Closed for the day.

Kenya: NSE 20 -1.16%, USD 1.7m

A scarily quiet day to start the week in Nairobi as a total lack of interest pushed the market lower on tiny volumes. The only stock that saw a modicum of interest was EABL which closed down 40bps at KES268.00.

Mauritius: -0.53%, USD 620k

Apart from some small activity in MCBG (63k shares) there was nothing much to report on a rather quiet start to the week in Port Louis.

Nigeria: ASI -0.23%, USD 6.2m

Another absolutely pathetic day in Lagos. In fact, the most exciting talk of the town was Skye Bank which rallied by 10% to N0.66 as the bank tries to recover after the battering it has received in recent weeks. The banks closed down 30bps in total although volumes extremely quiet. Trading in the consumers (-42bps) were also practically non-existent.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.62%, USD 538k

Another quiet start to the week in Harare with some activity in Fidelity Life Assurance ($364k) the only name worth mentioning.
