Movers & Shakers: March 30, 2016

Botswana: DCI +0.16%, USD 192k

Some action in Letshego (250t) about the only excitement on a rather uneventful day.

Kenya: NSE 20 -0.36%, USD 5.0m

Another quiet day in Kenya. In fact, if it was not for a one-off cross in Bamburi (both sides foreign) then the day would hardly have been worth turning up for. In normal trading we saw some mild activity in Safcom (-60bps, KES16.70) and Equity Bank (+1.4%, KES285.00).

Mauritius: Semdex -0.01%, USD 470k

Nothing on the go in Port Louis today with some activity in MCBG the only name worth mentioning as 52k shares changed hands.

Nigeria: ASI -0.52%, USD 10.6m

Another woeful day in Lagos as the market continues to limp along with no clear catalyst. Banks fell by 2.62% although outside of GTB (+28bps, N14.48) the sector was extremely quiet. Similarly, the consumers fell by 1.98% although outside of NB (-4.32%, N107.00) there was nothing going on. The rest of the market was dull.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -1.03%, USD 979k

A much better day in Harare with most of the action centered around Padenga ($678k) after they released FY 2015 results while the rest of the market was rather quiet.
