A dire start to the week from an activity point of view as turnover amounted to $8.8m with some small bits of action in Zenith ($1.39m), UBA ($1.33m) and GTB ($1.25m) the only names worth mentioing. Banks had a very solid day (albeit on tiny volume) with the sector gaining +3.19% with strong performances in UBA (+10.24%), FBNH (+5.99%) and ETI (+4.28%).
