Movers & Shakers: January 31, 2017


Botswana: DCI +0.03%, USD 17k

Nothing to report.

Kenya: NSE 20 +0.20%, USD 3.9m

It was yet another quiet session in Kenya and despite a slight uptick in the index the NSE 20 still ended the first month of 2017 down a disappointing 12.3%. As always, the main activities took place in EABL (+1.8%, KES 224.00) and Safcom (+80bps, KES 18.50) as the rest of the market remains effectively closed.

Mauritius: Semdex +0.07%, USD 490k

A quiet day ahead of the public holiday tomorrow in Port Louis with nothing to report.

Nigeria: ASI -0.69%, USD 8.9m

A couple of chunky crosses in NB (-1.55%, N139.80) to close the month were the main highlights on yet another dull day in Lagos. Both Banks (-1.27%) and Consumers (-43bps) ended the day in the red on low volumes.

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.52%, USD 1m

There was finally some life in Harare with some action in Delta ($420k) and Econet ($346k) driving proceedings.
