Banks pull down the DCI

The DCI weakened by 1,15 percent as all the three listed banks registered losses, with FNBB leading the pack with a 6.45 percent loss while Stanchart softened by 3.85 percent and Barclays lost 0.54 percent.

In the week under review, the FCI traded flat at 2205.93 points. The biggest mover of the week was Investec, which put up a significant 10.56 percent, while most of the other healthy gains were recorded in the mining counters, buoyed by firming prices induced by the current mining boom.
