Not a bad day in Port Loius today with SBMH (unch, Rs7.60) and MCB (unch, Rs279.00) taking up more than half the market. In other news Air Mauritius (+1.4%, 7k) ended on a YTD high of Rs15.00 and NMH (Rs21.90) was the only mover in the hotel sector down by 0.7%.

Nigeria: ASI +0.23%, USD 10m

Once again the Banks (+1.07%) led the way, both in terms of volumes and market direction, consumers were unchanged as the sector was incredibly quiet.
