A solid enough start to the week from an activity point of view in Port Louis as turnover amounted to $1.25m thanks to some action in NMH as 1m shares changed hands. There was also some activity in MCBG (45k shares) and Ciel (1.2m shares).

Nigeria: ASI +0.72%, USD 15.8m

Another rather slow start to the week after the long weekend in Lagos with turnover amounting to $15.8m thanks to some crosses in the likes of GTB ($8.2m), Zenith ($2.3m), UBA ($1.2m) and WAPCO ($1.2m). Consumers had a solid day with the sector gaining +2.88% thanks to NB (+4.26%) and Nestle (+2.39%). Banks (-0.16%) however closed lower as Zenith (-3.26%) and Access (-2.33%) were drags on the sector.
