The Minings Index remained stable at 73.26 points with Bindura being the only mining counter to trade on the market at an unchanged price of 3c.
Total volumes traded on the market significantly improved to 6.523 million shares against yesterday's 3.843 million shares with considerable volumes traded in Econet (1.646 million) and Innscor (460 469).
The total value also improved surpassing the psychological $1 million level at $2,837 million up from yesterday's $757 480. OK Zimbabwe contributed $1.568 million, Econet $1,226 million and Innscor $460 469 to the total value on the market

ZBFH closed buyers at 8c after announcing the declaration of 0.16c final dividend and setting the record date for May 17. Bankers, CBZ added 0.20c or 1.45% to 14c.
There was not even a single sector to record losses in the Zfn board with the Datvest All Share Index rising 1.39% to 139.16 while the FBC ZSE-10 Index advanced 1.62% to 148.18.
OK Zimbabwe's continued rally saw the Truworths Retail Index rising another 5.65% to 330.61 to become the best performing sector since January up 64.03%.
Meanwhile dealers observed a moment of silence before the call-over in honour of the passing on of their colleague and ABC Stockbrokers dealer Fritzgerald Chitonga in a car accident along Lomagundi Road early this morning.
