The clearest takeaway from Tuesday’s Egyptian session was the gap between one stock and the broader market: B Investments Holding surged 9.8% to EGP 48.5, while the EGX 30 index added just 0.14% to close at 52,927 points on June 2, 2026. Market breadth was positive at 25 gainers, 17 losers and 2 unchanged, but the day was defined less by a broad rally than by sharp stock-specific rotation.
That divergence mattered even more because the macro backdrop turned modestly more supportive for local assets. The Egyptian pound strengthened, with USD/EGP down 1.07% to 51.8, easing near-term currency pressure and improving sentiment toward domestic equities. In Egypt, that FX move is never a side note: after multiple devaluations between 2022 and 2024, any reading of the EGX today has to be adjusted mentally for the currency, especially for foreign investors measuring returns in U.S. dollars rather than pounds.
