• ASI -37bps, $20.6mill
• There was an off-market cross of 11m shares in Seplat at N300
We expect all sectors to remain muted in today's session with the odd cross as investors continue to sit things out
• NSE20 +36bps, $6.5mill
• Foreign participation remains muted on the bourse
The market opened the day with a block trade of 439,800 shares of Centum, up 0.8% on local investor trading. The counter only traded modest volume yesterday before being suspended after FY15 results were sent out. Equity Bank was unchanged on foreign investor trading. Britam is up 2.4% but with supply exceeding demand ahead of plans for disposal of a 24% stake to settle claims related to the majority shareholder BAI Mauritius. A strategic investor for the asset may be sought if the price in the market is to hold up - which is what seems to be the case with the vendors. Media companies are quiet after Kenya met the analogue to digital migration yesterday
