Movers & Shakers: November 20, 2015


Botswana: DCI +0.02%, USD 1.4m

A solid enough day to end the week in Gaborone thanks to a cross in Choppies as 2.88m shares changed hands in the counter while there was nothing else to report.

Kenya: NSE 20 +0.54%, USD 7.7m

A better day to end the week with total value traded amounting to $7.7m as activity was pretty evenly split between locals and foreigners. Some action in EQBNK drove proceedings as the name accounted for 51% of turnover with 9.7m shares traded in the counter as foreigners accounted for most of the purchases. A late cross in EABL boosted activity in the brewer as 390k shares traded. Local demand in KNCB drove the counter +1.2% higher as 2.2m shares traded while Safcom was rather quiet but continued to post some impressive gains as the telco gained +0.9%.

Mauritius: Semdex -0.50%, USD 1.4m

A decent enough day to end the week in Port Louis thanks to some action in MCBG as 172k shares changed hands in the name while the rest of the market was quiet.

Nigeria: ASI -0.26%, USD 5.2m

The week ended off as badly as it started with turnover amounting to a paltry $5.2m as Access ($1.2m) was the only name to break the $1m mark with foreigners all but absent. Banks ended the day lower with the sector falling -0.63% thanks to GTB (-2.36%). Nestle (+0.86%) closed the day higher which helped Consumers (+0.12%) close the day in positive territory.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -2.99%, USD 685k

A better day in Harare, but still nothing to write home about as turnover increased to $685k thanks to some activity in Fidelity ($430k) and CBZ ($130k).
