MSE weekly report says Old Mutual's share price jumped by K165 to trade at K180 per share and this forced the Foreign Share Index to move upward to 226.23 points from 207.38.
However, the Domestic Share Index which has 14 counters stayed steady at 3934.94 points because of no share price gain in the eight counters of First Merchant Bank, Illovo, Malawi Propert Investment Company, National Bank of Malawi, Nic Holdings, National Investment Trust Limited, Standard Bank and TNM Limited that recorded trading activity during the week under report.
