Angola's Debt and Securities Exchange (BODIVA) recorded turnover of $64.3 million (56.39 billion kwanzas) in its Friday session on 6 November, in a day characterised by predominantly negative performance among listed equities despite a high overall volume of transactions.
Over the course of the session, 37 instruments were traded — seven equities and 30 debt instruments — across 284 transactions. The total value transacted reflects activity across all market segments, with debt instruments accounting for a particularly significant share.
In the equity market, the trend was broadly negative. Caixa Angola posted the steepest decline, falling 2.56%, followed by Standard Bank Angola, whose shares shed 1.67%. BODIVA's own listed shares dropped 0.95%, while BAI fell 0.46%.
On the positive side, ENSA gained 0.88%, standing out as the strongest performer among equities. Shares in BFA and Unitel closed the session unchanged.
In the bond segment, the instrument OH15M29B recorded the largest gain, rising 10%, while bond OL01U31A posted the steepest loss, falling 12%.
The session's results highlight a divergence between different segments of the Angolan exchange: while overall transaction volumes were substantial, equities faced broad downward pressure across several listed companies.
Trading activity at BODIVA remains a key indicator for assessing the depth of Angola's capital markets, investor participation, and the capacity of companies to use the exchange as an alternative source of financing.
