The Nairobi Stock Exchange (NSE) yesterday recorded robust performance with the NSE 20 share index crossing the 6,000 point mark.
In yesterday's trading, the bourse recorded yet another milestone after the NSE hit the 6,000 mark settling at 6,026.51 up 64.05 points from the previous trading session.
This was a major milestone for the bourse with the move coming just a few months after the share index hit the historic 5,000 mark with the move being attributed to the installation of the automated trading system, robust country’s economic growth as well as the continued deepening of the capital market.
