Almost the only stock to trade today was FNBB (280t) which witnessed a rather chunky cross.
Activity slowed down in Nairobi today after yesterday's excitement as Safcom ($1.2m) continued to drive proceednigs with the telco closing -2.2% lower. There was some decent activity in BATK ($719k) for a change thanks to locals on both side of the name. EQBNK released FY 2016 results which saw PAT fall -4.2% to KES 16.6bn, which surprised the market on the downside with the name closing -4.3% lower.
Back to normal with MCBG (-60bps, Rs225.00) dominating proceedings while we also saw some reasonable activity in SBMH (unch, Rs7.02).
A much better day in Lagos thanks to a cross in Nestle ($4.1m) while the rest of the market remained very dull. Banking stocks closed the day +0.11% higher on low volume while consumer stocks gained +0.13% thanks to Unilever (+4.95%)
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
Some decent action in Harare today thanks to the likes of Econet (14.01c) and Delta (84.55c).
