Movers & Shakers: December 19, 2016

Botswana: DCI -0.32%, USD 103k

Nothing to report.

Kenya: NSE 20 -0.66%, USD 3.1m

The Kenyan market feels like it is already on holiday with a lack of interest perpetuating throughout the market. The only decent action went through yet again in Safcom (+1.3%, KES19.00) as the telco finally found some buying interest returning.

Mauritius: Semdex +0.16%, USD 910k

Once again MCBG (+40bps, Rs214.00) accounted for about half the total turnover while the market itself remains generally sluggish.

Nigeria: ASI -0.45%, USD 5.5m

Another pathetic day in Lagos with some big local action in the little-traded Nascon the highlight of the day. In normal trading we didn’t see any stocks crack the psychological $1m barrier yet again while the market remains rudderless. The main interest today outside of Nascon took place in UBA (unch, N4.50) and Zenith Bank (+7bps, N14.40).

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

Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.97%, USD 204k

A very slow start to the week in Harare with nothing to report.
