Movers & Shakers: October 09, 2015

Botswana: DCI unch, USD 177k

Some local action in Turnstar (297t) was about the only thing worth noting today.

Kenya: NSE 20 -0.59%, USD 3.8m

Another quiet day as the index just ticked lower. Besides some mild action in KNCB (-1.7%, KES44.00), Scan (-6.9%, KES27.00) and Safcom (+70bps, KES14.80) there was nothing exciting to report on.

Mauritius: Semdex -0.21%, USD 4.26m

A really active end to the week in Port Louis thanks to some large crosses in MCBG (+20bps, Rs209.00). Outside of this the market was quiet.

Nigeria: ASI +0.14%, USD 6.7m

An absolutely atrocious day for Nigeria with the market barely registering a pulse. The lack of activity must be an all-time low as outside of Access Bank (+1.17%, N5.20) and 7UP (+15bps, N196.00) nothing was going on.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.21%, USD 921k

Things slowed down on the last trading day of the week in Harare as turnover amounted to $921k thanks mostly to Econet ($675k) and Delta ($137k) while the rest of the market was dead.
