NSE Turnover Holds Above KSh 1 Billion for Four Straight Sessions

Nairobi Securities Exchange NSE

The Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) has recorded turnover above KSh 1 billion for four consecutive trading sessions, marking the first such streak since 2–5 September 2025 and signaling a sustained rebound in market activity.

Daily Turnover Performance

  • 13 Feb – KSh 1.233 Billion
  • 12 Feb – KSh 1.2656 Billion
  • 11 Feb – KSh 1.831 Billion
  • 10 Feb – KSh 2.439 Billion

The four-day run reflects renewed investor participation and improved liquidity across counters, with turnover levels significantly above the recent weekly averages observed earlier this year.

Equity Deals Surge Above 20,000 for Three Consecutive Sessions

In addition to stronger turnover, the number of equity deals has remained above 20,000 for three straight sessions, peaking at 25,773 trades on 11 February.

Daily Trade Volumes

  • 13 Feb – 23,608 trades
  • 12 Feb – 24,357 trades
  • 11 Feb – 25,773 trades
  • 09 Feb – 14,300 trades
  • 06 Feb – 12,893 trades
  • 05 Feb – 8,713 trades

The sustained spike in deals marks a sharp acceleration compared to earlier sessions in the month, where trade counts ranged between 8,000 and 14,000.

Liquidity Rebound Signals Market Momentum

The combination of billion-shilling turnover and elevated deal counts suggests a broad-based pickup in trading activity rather than isolated block transactions. Market analysts often interpret sustained high turnover alongside rising trade volumes as confirmation of stronger participation from both institutional and retail investors.

The latest streak reinforces signs of improving liquidity conditions at the NSE, potentially supporting price discovery and short-term market momentum if the trend continues.
