Movers & Shakers: May 24, 2017

Botswana: DCI +0.03%, USD 7.2m

A very impressive day in Gaborone, but this should however be taken with a pinch of salt as a large cross in Sechaba accounted for the majority of the volume as 3.6m share changed hands in the name.

Kenya: NSE 20 +1.79%, USD 4.9m

A much slower day in Nairobi with Safcom ($1.81m) the only name worth mentioning from an activity point of view as the telco closed +2.44% higher on foreign demand. Elsewhere, there was some small activity in EABL and EQBNK, but nothing worth writing home about.

Mauritius: Semdex -0.38%, USD 1.0m

An average day in Port Louis with some action in MCBG dominating proceedings as 87k shares changed hands in the name.

Nigeria: ASI +0.69%, USD 10.9m

A rather uninspiring day in Lagos with some action in Zenith ($5.4m) and GTB ($1m) the only names worth mentioning. Banking stocks closed the day +1.47% higher thanks to Zenith (+1.69%) and GTB (+1.46%). Consumers (-0.72%) closed in negative territory on relatively light volume.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials +1.19%, USD 771k

Once again aggressive local buying pushed the market higher. Activity was split across a multitude of names with no really big crosses going through. Econet closed up at 27.75c while Delta closed at 95.25c.
