Movers & Shakers: January 18, 2016

Botswana: DCI unch, USD 7k

A completey dire day in Gaborone.

Kenya: NSE 20 -0.38%, USD 4.5m

Some nice foreign crossing in EABL (-1.9%, KES260.00) was about the only excitement on a very quiet day. The rest of the market was eerily quiet with just some mild trading going on in the likes of CFC Stanbic (unch, KES80.00) and Equity Bank (-60bps, KES39.75).

Mauritius: Semdex +0.22%, USD 810k

A relatively slow start to the week with some small activity in MCBG (58k shares) and NMH (486k shares) the only names worth mentioning.

Nigeria: ASI -4.10%, USD 8.4m

As expected with a US holiday the Nigerian bourse was rather lethargic. The sell-off continued despite some buying interest returning – most of the sell-off is thanks to Dangcem which fell by 7.07% to N123.60. Banks fell by 1.64% which is some improvement compared to last week. Action was again heavily focused on GTB (+1.20%, N13.53) and Zenith (-4.66%, N9.00). Consumers fell by 3.77% although outside of a couple of crosses in Nestle (-5%, N703.05) the sector was quiet.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.48%, USD 68k

Absolutely nothing to report from Harare.
