Movers & Shakers: May 31, 2017
Botswana: DCI unch, USD 12k
Nothing to report from Gaborone.
Kenya: NSE 20 +0.10%, USD 12.8m
A much better day in Nairobi ahead of tomorrow's holiday with the usual suspect Safcom ($8m) driving proceedings as foreigners dominated both sides of the name with the telco closing +5.95% higher. There was also some very solid foreign action in EABL ($2.2m) and KNCB ($1m) with EABL closing unchanged while KNCB closed +3.2% higher.
Mauritius: Semdex +0.10%, USD 1.7m
Another rather active day as MCBG hit yet another record high (+80bps, Rs250.00). MCBG yet again dominated the major part of the market turnover.
Nigeria: ASI +0.76%, USD 10.5m
Things slowed down rather drastically in Lagos today with some small activity in GTB ($2.3m), Zenith ($1.6m) and FBNH ($1m) the only names worth mentioning. Banking stocks came under some serious pressure with the sector closing -3.06% lower thanks to heavy losses in GTB (-5.00%), UBA (-2.85%) and Zenith (-2.82%). Consumers (+1.49%) closed the day higher thanks to NB (+2.40%).
Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.
Zimbabwe: Industrials +0.71%, USD 323k
The bulls continue to push the market higher with aggressive local buying the major driving force. The main stock today was Innscor which closed at 60c.
