Another solid day in Gaborone thanks to some action in the likes of Chobe (2m shares), Letshego (1.9m shares), Choppies (1.1m shares) and Sefalana (80k shares).
Activity fell off a cliff again today in Nairobi with turnover amounting to a very dull $3.0m with locals (53%) dominating what little activity there was. NMG was the most active stock on the day thanks to a cross as 332k shares traded (foreign buyer/ local seller). The usual heavyweights Safcom (3.2m shares), EQBNK (1.2m shares), KNCB (929k shares) and EABL (72k shares) where extremely quiet.
A rather active day considering that the market had to close early as a result of torrential rain with turnover amounting to $1.49m. There was once again some solid action in MCBG as 88k shares changed hands in the name. NMH continues to impress from a performance point of view with the counter gaining +3.1% on 592k shares. SBMH also had a very strong day and closed +4.3% higher.
Activity continues to underwhelm with a few crosses in the likes of Nestle ($2.3m), Zenith ($1.9m) and GTB ($1.1m) the only names worth mentioning. Banking stocks had a better day with the sector closing +0.88% higher thanks to good performances in FBNH (+3.44%) and GTB (+3.05%). Consumers (-0.48%) on the other hand closed in negative territory with some pressure on 7UP (-5.00%) and Unilever (-5.00%) dragging the sector lower.
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
A better day in Harare but still nothing to write home about with some small activity in Afdis ($180k) the only name worth mentioning.
