Nothing much to report from Gaborone unfortunately.
Safcom (+90bps, KES17.10) had a fairly decent day in terms of performance after the telco announced better than expected FY16 results. However, volumes in the name were actually rather dull. The main excitement was a chunky cross in Equity Bank (both sides foreign) with the banking group closing at KES40.50 (+1.3%). KNCB also rose by 1.3% to end the session at KES40.50. The rest of the market was uneventful.
Another rather sluggish day in Port Louis with some small activity in a few names while MCBG and SBMH remain very quiet.
A late cross in NB ($2.4m) boosted activity on an otherwise dull day yet again. There was also some small activity in GTB ($1.9m) while the rest of the market remains eerily quiet. Banking stocks closed the day higher with the sectr gaining +0.58% thanks to GTB (+1.89%) and UBA (+0.88%). Consumers (+0.11%) also closed slightly higher thanks once again to NB (+0.42%).
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
Nothing to report from Harare.
