Moran Capital Management Kenya presents the latest global and local market insights to guide investors, corporates, and high-net-worth individuals in making informed financial decisions.
🌍 Global Markets
The U.S. Federal Reserve cut rates by 25 basis points, signaling further easing that could weaken the dollar and boost equities, bonds, and international investments. Global equities posted mixed performance, with U.S. and Eurozone indices advancing, while the U.K., German, and Japanese markets retreated. Investors are advised to focus on resilient U.S. tech leaders such as Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia, alongside Eurozone opportunities.
The fixed income market rallied as 10-year U.S. Treasuries and Eurobonds gained on easing inflation, while commodities such as oil, gold, copper, and nickel posted strong momentum, supported by the global energy transition.
🇰🇪 Local Markets
The Kenyan Shilling weakened against most currencies but remained stable against the USD, with foreign reserves at USD 10.861 billion. The Nairobi Securities Exchange saw declines across major indices despite higher turnover, reflecting cautious investor sentiment. Safaricom and Equity Bank remained the most liquid counters, while Uganda and Tanzania markets showed stronger resilience.
Corporate actions boosted the market with dividend declarations from BAT Kenya (KES 10.00), Standard Chartered Bank Kenya (KES 8.00), and NCBA (KES 2.50). Meanwhile, Treasury Bill yields continued to trend lower as the Central Bank of Kenya pursued multiple rate cuts.
Kenya’s Eurobond market strengthened as yields fell, attracting investor demand, while the Kenya Revenue Authority surpassed its 2024/25 revenue target at KES 2.571 trillion, reinforcing fiscal stability.
