As expected it was a rather dull session in Kenya. The most active stocks were KNCB (unch, KES 28.25) and Safcom while we also witness a couple of crosses in Scan (+6.74%, KES19.00).
Once again MCBG (+10bps, Rs215.50) accounted for about half the total market turnover in a generally uneventful day.
It was a half day in Nigeria ahead of the long Christmas break. Despite this we actually saw a couple of crosses once again get volumes up to a reasonable level. Banks fell by 1.81% with GTB (-4.99%, N23.43) leading the way. Consumers also closed lower (-1.83%) with crosses in the likes of NB (-3.13%, N137.55) and Nestle (unch, N810.00).
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
A dull end to the week in Harare with nothing exciting to note.
