Movers & Shakers: June 30, 2014
Botswana: : DCI unch, USD 6.7k
Dire start to the week in Gaborone as value traded amounted to a paltry 6.7k
Egypt: EGX 30 +1.13%, USD 67m
Egypt managed to end the day in the positive territory following President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi's approval of the revised FY2014/15 budget with a deficit of 10% of GDP. The EGX30 gained 1.13% to close at 8162 points on low volumes of USD 67m. COMI gained 2.05%, with block trade of 35.5 million shares at EGP36.34/share, worth EGP1.29 billion. HRHO fell 0.65% after Sawiris-led consortium said it would make no change to EFG-Hermes' offer price of EGP16.00/share. ETEL added 1.66% after coming to an agreement on fiber network rental fees with ISPs (Link, Vodafone Data, and Etisalat Internet). AMER (+2.33%) board approved a capital increase up to EGP1.37 billion using reserves.
Kenya: NSE 20 +1.06%, USD 5.7m
It was a rather slow start to the week with value traded amounting to $5.7m thanks to a fall in foreign participation with locals accounting for 66.3% of activity. A local cross in the usually illiquid Sasini drve activity as a total of 5.4m shares traded over the day.

Nigeria: ASI +0.70%, USD 29m
Not a bad start to the week in Lagos as value traded amounted to $29m. Oando ($7.64m) drove activity once again with some action in Nestle ($2.36m), GTB ($2.29m) and UBA ($2.24m). Banks managed to close the day higher with the Index gaining +0.20% thanks to ETI (+4.00%) and Diamond Bank (+1.59%).
