Movers & Shakers: September 05, 2014
Botswana: DCI +0.09%, USD 500k
Another reasonable day in Gaborone with some activity witnessed in Letshego (256t), RDCP (861t), Turnstar (201t) and Chobe (402t).
Egypt: Closed for the day
Kenya: NSE 20 +0.06%, USD 2.6m
An absolutely dire end to the week in Nairobi with turnover falling to $2.6m as foreigners (17.6% of turnover) were all but absent. Centum was the top mover as the signaling effect of its contract win drove the investment firm 2.6% higher to touch a 52 week high of KES 58.50. Foreigners drove selling in Kenya-Re as 1.57m shares changed hands in the name.
Mauritius: Semdex +0.38%, USD 840k
A quiet end to the week in Port Louis. The Sem-7 rose by 43bps thanks particularly to NMH gained a solid 3.53% to Rs88.00. Also gaining were MCBG (+12bps, Rs207.75), Alteo (+84bps, Rs36) and Ciel (+29bps, Rs7.02). The only faller in the Sem-7 was Terra which closed down 96bps at Rs36.10.
Nigeria: ASI +0.35%, USD 16.8m
Not much on the go in Lagos on the last trading day of the week with turnover amounting to $16.8m as Zenith ($2.76m), GTB ($2.2m) and NB ($1.63m) drove activity. Banks managed to close on the front foot with the Index gaining +1.55% thanks to ETI (+5.00%) after yesterday's announcement, FBNH (+3.45%) and GTB (+1.74%). Consumers (-0.54%) closed lower with Flour Mills (-4.92%) and Nestle (-1.161%) weighing on the sector.
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.80%, USD 1.57m
The index continues to grind higher as a complete lack of supply permeates throughout most of the market. Econet rose sharply to 84.01c after a local broker pushed the price up to 84c while there was also some decent activity in Delta (138c), Mash (2.65c) and Seedco (97c).
