Movers & Shakers: September 14, 2015

Botswana: DCI -0.03%, USD 133k

Activity remains dull in Gaborone.

Kenya: NSE 20 +0.59%, USD 3.8m

Another woeful day in Nairobi as the market is clearly not a focus for many global and local investors. The bulk of today’s action saw a number of small foreign bookovers going through in a few different names. But the main actual trading took place in KNCB, Safcom and Equity Bank.

Mauritius: Semdex -0.18%, USD 580k

The Mauritian bourse fell marginally on an extremely quiet day. The only stock that showed a modicum of action was MCBG which fell by 10bps to Rs209.75.

Nigeria: ASI +2.29%, USD 19.2m

The week started on a very quiet note although a couple of crosses just before the close increased volumes somewhat. Both Banks (+2.97%) and Consumers (+3.19%) drove the index higher. Banking activity was spearheaded by GTB (+6bps, N17.00) and Zenith (+4.78%, N24.10). Consumers were generally dull until some late action in Nestle at the N820 level (unch). Guinness continues to rally aggressively after Diageo’s announcement last week and closed up 10% at N167.77.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.03%, USD 368k

Nothing really exciting yet again in Harare with most names broadly unchanged on thin volumes.
