Movers & Shakers: April 08, 2016

Botswana: DCI +0.64%, USD 36k

Nothing to report from Botswana.

Kenya: NSE 20 -1.36%, USD 4.3m

A quiet end to a quiet week with some profit taking evident on a few names. The major banks both retreated by 1.2% with Equity Bank finishing at KES40.25 and KNCB closing at KES42.00. There was also some action in Safcom (unch, KES16.75) while the rest of the market was dead.

Mauritius: Market closed for the day.

Nigeria: ASI -0.16%, USD 6.7m

A dull end to a dull week in Lagos. The market really doesn't have any direction and the lack of interest from foreign investors is rather palpable. The only real action today was in GTB (+1.20%, N14.30) although banks ended the day marginally in the red (-12bps). Consumers ended the day up 50bps although no stock in the sector barely registered.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.17%, USD 820k

Not a bad day to end the week, compared to what we have become accustomed to in Harare. There was some activity in Pearl Properties ($390k) and Zimre ($322k) while the rest of the market was very quiet.
