Movers & Shakers: October 14, 2016

Botswana: DCI unch, USD 570k

A cross in Choppies saved the market from complete embarrassment as 1.9m shares traded while the rest of the market was dead quiet.

Kenya: NSE 20 +0.79%, USD 4.0m

A quiet end to what has been a generally quiet week in Nairobi. Well over half of today’s turnover came in KNCB (unch, KES27.00) which witnessed a number of decent crosses with foreign being on both sides of the equation. The rest of the market was quiet.

Mauritius: Semdex -0.09%, USD 710k

Some small action in MCBG the only name worh mentioning as 63k shares changed hands in the name on an otherwise dull day in Port Louis.

Nigeria: ASI +0.02%, USD 4.8m

Another apathetic day in Lagos with nothing going on. Banks (+1.10%) rebounded after yesterday’s weakness although outside of GTB (+2.80%, N23.50) the sector was dead. Consumers ended the day slightly positive on thin volumes.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials +3.68%, USD 1.1m

Another decent day to end the week in Harare from both an acivity and performance point of view, thanks to some action in Innscor ($450k) and Econet ($267k).
