Botswana: DCI +0.01%. USD 184k

Not much on the go in Gaborone with turnover amountin to $184k.

Kenya: NSE 20 +0.43%, USD 9.6m

On the face of it, it looked like a rather active day in Nairobi, but this should however be taken with a pinch of salt as EQBNK accounted for 82% of activity thanks to a cross of 16m shares mid-way through the session. The rest of the market was very quiet with pockets of activity in Safcom and KNRE.

Mauritius: Semdex -0.01%, USD 740k

Some action in SBMH the only name worth mentioning as 15.9m shares traded while the rest of the market was very quiet yet again.

Nigeria: ASI -0.05%, USD 8.5m

A rather dire end to the week in Lagos in terms of activity as turnover amounted to $8.5m as DangCem ($1.5m) was the only counter to break the $1m mark. Banks closed in positive territory with the sector gaining +0.25% thanks to GTB (+2.08%) and FBNH (+2.07%). Consumers (-0.20%) closed lower as PZ Cussons (-4.21%) dragged the sector lower.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.29%, USD 144k

Another slow day in Harare to end the week with turnover amounting to a dull $144k.
