Mauritius: Semdex +0.08%, USD 840k

Another relatively decent day, thanks to MCBG as 52k shares changed hands in the name while there was also some activity in the very illiquid ENL Land as 73k shares traded.

Nigeria: ASI +1.37%, USD 25.4m

A very impressive day on the Nigerian bourse today all thanks to some large crosses in the likes of Zenith ($5.11m), UBA ($3.78m), Guaranty ($2.21m), NB ($3.94m), and Nestle ($1.8m). Banking stocks were up once more, but it must be said that there was a sell-off from the day's highs into the close as the sector closed +1.75% higher thanks to Diamond (+4.72%). Consumers (+3.84%) also closed in positive territory on low volume.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials Flat, USD 243k

Volumes dipped by 70% against the previous day, with Delta accounting for 58% of turnover.
