Another large cross in Equity Bank dominated the session in Nairobi. Outside of this cross the bulk of the day was generally quiet with the exception on KNCB. KNCB closed down 1.1% at KES46.00. Safcom (-70bps, KES15.00) and EABL (-1.3%, KES295) were both soft although volumes in these names were generally muted.
Another quiet day in Mauritius although MCBG did see some mild action. The banking group closed at Rs215.00 (-70bps).
