Movers & Shakers: September 18, 2015

Botswana: DCI +0.02%, USD 3.37m

A nice chunky cross in Choppies (490t) was the only game in town today.

Kenya: NSE 20 -0.30%, USD 3.6m

It was a very dull end to a very dull week in Nairobi. The banks had a mixed day with KNCB inching higher to KES47.75 while Equity Bank closed marginally softer at KES44.75. Safcom also continued to retreat after the earlier strength and fell to KES14.70.

Mauritius: Holiday - market closed

Nigeria: ASI -0.26%, USD 17.6m

Despite gains in both the banks (+77bps) and consumers (+40bps) the ASI lost ground today. This was due to Dangcem which fell by 1.76% to N167.01. As expected, the bulk of the market was eerily quiet with just a couple of crosses lighting up proceedings. The banks were led by GTB (+1.87%, N24.55) and Zenith (-28bps, N18.10). The consumers were driven by Nestle (+1bp, N820.05) while UACN (-3.58%, N31.82) saw a chunky local cross go through for the second consecutive day.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.11%, USD 534k

The lion's shares of today's activity took place in normally illiquid stocks. These were CBZ (8.96c) and Pear (2.2c).
