Movers & Shakers: May 08, 2015
Botswana: DCI +0.09%, USD 14.5k
Absolutely nothing going on at the moment
Kenya: NSE 20 -0.08%, USD 10.3m
The market remains bearish with foreigners accounting for 81.39% of total sales. Foreigners were mainly selling large caps Safaricom (-0.6%, KES17.05) and EABL (-1.2%, KES321) whilst locals were taking advantage of the lower prices in KCB (+2.5%, KES60.50) and Equity Bank (+2.2%, KES46.50). Safaricom was the most actively traded counter in the session (accounted for 51% of activity) on the back of its Set Box launch product offers TV, internet and telephone connectivity.
Mauritius: Semdex +0.07%, USD 501k
MCB lost 0.1% to close down at RS203.25 after trading a total of 23.8k shares. SBM and NMH closed the week unchanged after trading a total of 1.3m and 6k shares respectively.
Nigeria: ASI -0.04%, USD 11.5m
Turnover is still well below average. ETI was well offered throughout the session with the name closing weak at N24.49 (-0.24%). Most banking names ended in the red with FBN (+1.90%, N9.10) and GTB (unch, N28.83) as the exceptions the index shed 0.43%. The Consumer index lost 0.12% due to losses in Intbrew (-4.98%, N20.42), Unilever (-0.09%, N43) and NB (-0.32%, N153.50). Top movers included GTB, Zenith Bank, Stanbic, Dangcem and Wapco.
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.91%, USD 861k
A dull day to close off the week as turnover only amounted to a mere $861k. Delta, Econet and Padenga accounted for the bulk of activity.
