Movers & Shakers: June 07, 2017

Botswana: DCI -0.11%, USD 171k

A slow day in Gaborone with nothing worth reporting on.

Kenya: NSE 20 +0.22%, USD 4.4m

A decent enough day on the activity front in Nairobi thanks to the usual suspect Safcom ($3.2m) with the telco closing +1.1% higher on foreign demand. There was also some action in the usually illiquid Co-op ($1.1m) thanks to a local cross while the rest of the heavyweights were very quiet.

Mauritius: Semdex -0.01%, USD 1.3m

A much better day in Port Louis thanks to some action in Alteo and MCBG as 369k shares and 44k shares changed hands in the names respectively.

Nigeria: ASI +1.51%, USD 12.9m

Nothing too overly exciting worth reporting on from Lagos with a few crosses in FBNH ($2m), UBA ($1.6m), GTB ($1.4m), Access ($1m) and Zenith ($1m). Banking stocks closed the day -0.61% lower with some pressure on FBNH (-9.22%) dragging the sector lower. Consumers managed to close +0.66% higher on low volume.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials +1.47%, USD 1.2m

Once again the local buying continues to push the ZSE higher. Today we saw some trading in Econet (35.99c) and Innscor (60.75c).
