Movers & Shakers: May 27, 2014
Botswana: DCI +0.14%, USD 114k
A dull day in Gaborone, nothing much to write home about.
Egypt: Closed for the day
Kenya: NSE 20 -0.24, USD 8.2m
Local investors were by far the bulk of today’s action. The most active name today was Safcom which closed unchanged at KES 13.00 while local action in Scan (-1%, KES 48) and Diamond Trust Bank (+40bps, KES 238) were also quite high. Equity Bank (unch, KES 40.25) and KNCB (+50bps, KES 47.75) were both relatively quiet while EABL was extremely dead.
Mauritius: Semdex +0.15%, USD 953k
A quiet day in Port Louis as the Sem-7 inched higher. Gains were recorded in SBM (+95bps, Rs1.06), Terra (+83bps, Rs36.25) and IBL (+97bps, Rs104). Losses were recorded in Alteo (-14bps, Rs34.45) and ENL Land (-50bps, Rs50.25).
Nigeria: ASI +0.77%, USD 24.9m
Local investors once again dominated the Lagos bourse. As with all African markets today, foreign investors were largely subdued. There were some chunky volumes traded in UACN ($7m), Zenith ($5m) and NB ($2m). Banks gained an impressive 1.08% with strength across the entire sector. ETI once again performed well (+2.95%, N15.70) although it was ably supported by Access (+4%, N9.70). Consumers took a big knock (-85bps) with a late sell-off in NB (-1.69%, N173.03) and Unilever (-2.71%, N48.19) the main drags on the sector. Oando took another hiding and lost a further 5.1% to N18.05 on good volumes.
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.28%, USD 860k
A monotonous tone to proceedings in Harare this morning. As was the case with most African markets today, foreign participation was very minimal. Notable gains were made in Natfoods (+4.5%, 210c) and Seedco (+1.4%, 71.01c) while Econet dipped marginally to 64c and Delta closed unchanged at 115c.
