Movers & Shakers: November 27, 2015

Botswana: DCI -0.02%, USD 376k

Some action in FNBB (380t) the only activity in Gaborone today.

Kenya: NSE 20 -1.24%, USD 3.7m

With many Kenyans deciding to take a long weekend we expectedly saw a dull session. As locals have also been the bulk of the buying recently we also saw a soft market. However, the only large cap that actually closed lower was KNCB which fell by 1.2% to KES41.25. Equity Bank (KES41.75), EABL (KES277) and Safcom (KES16.05) all closed the day unchanged.

Mauritius: Semdex +0.36%, USD 270k

A woefully dull day in Port Louis with just some mild action in the banks.

Nigeria: ASI -0.29%, USD 13.2m

The rally in the banks after the MPC announcements' earlier in the week has just not materialized. The sector (-1.28%) was the main drag on the ASI (-29bps) with almost all names bar FBNH (+9%, N5.45) closing in the red. Activity was once again dominated by GTB (-2.14%, N20.55), Zenith (-1.35%, N15.40) and FBNH. Consumers gained 1.02% although activity in the sector was virtually nil. Elsewhere we saw action in Dangcem (-1.24%, N158.00) and UACN (-1.70%, N26.00).

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.41%, USD 517k

The highlight of the day was Econet which traded approximately 1.2m shares at a stable price of 18c. Outside of this there was very little activity.
