Africa investor Ai40 Weekly Commentary 09 January 2017

A Happy New Year from Africa investor. We trust you enjoyed the festive break and we wish all investors a prosperous 2017.
We return with the first Ai40 Index Weekly Commentary of the year and the index has commenced 2017 on an upbeat note.
North African equities were the star performers for the period preceding the December break and coming into the new year.
On the other hand, East African stocks (Kenyan stocks in particular) fared the worst. The index gained 2.13 points; an increase
of 2.33% from the last value of 91.24 before the festive break. It closed the session out with a value of 93.37.
On the global front, US markets once again touched record highs on Friday with the Dow Jones industrial average just missing
the 20,000 mark by 0.37 points. The technology sector led the gains but the strong jobs data released on Friday also buoyed
equities. In the same vein, the dollar gained ground after the latest payrolls data indicated strong underlying wage growth
according to Yahoo Finance. In oil markets, following optimism over the OPEC deal at the end of last year, the commodity
closed slightly lower last week as markets are now looking to see if the cartel will follow through on its promise to cut supplies.
On Friday a barrel was trading around $56.75 according to FT.
At Fridays close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average picked up 0.32%, or 64.51 points, to close at a value of 19,963.80 (a few

On Friday a barrel was trading around $56.75 according to FT.

At Fridays close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average picked up 0.32%, or 64.51 points, to close at a value of 19,963.80 (a few
points shy of the 20k mark). The Nasdaq Composite Index gained 0.60%, or 33.12 points, to end the session at 5,521.06. Lastly,
the S&P 500 closed up by 0.35%, or 7.98 points, to close Friday on a value of 2,276.98.
Gainers
As mentioned above, North African equities dominated the Gainers List with Moroccan stocks scooping three of the five spots
and Egyptian stocks the remaining two. Moroccan real estate company, Douja Prom Addoha came in first place with a massive
gain of 45.9%. Telecoms firm Vodafone Egypt came in second with an impressive increase of 28.5%. This is despite that the
company was referred to prosecution by that countrys Consumers Protection Agency (CPA) for marketing the new fourthgeneration (4G) service which it said had not yet been officially launched according to Ahram Online. Still in the same sector,
Telecoms Egypt; one of the oldest and largest telecommunications companies in Egypt and the Middle East gained 25%.
To close out the Gainers List; Banque Centrale Populaire and Lafarge, both Moroccan stocks, gained 23.5% and 15%
respectively.
Losers
Kenyan stocks started off the year on the back foot as reflected in the index. The stock for Safaricom, a telecoms company, lost
5.4% whereas Equity Bank Limited stock suffered a drop of 5.6%. Still in that region, shares for Nairobi-listed East African
Breweries decreased by 6.1%.
Meanwhile, mining firm Anglo American dropped by a hefty 10% and Brvm-listed Ecobank Transnational came in at the bottom
of the heap with a disappointing 13.7% loss.
