The clearest move on the Thursday, June 18, 2026 session on the Tunis market did not come from a single pocket of the exchange. It came from a simultaneous rotation into telecoms, basic materials and, above all, financials. SOTETEL and ICF both surged 6.0%, while the TUNINDEX rose 1.15% to 18,519.56 points and the TUNINDEX20 added 1.29% to 8,201.67 points, powered by a sharp rebound in banking stocks.

Tunis stock exchange today: financials reassert leadership
The session was constructive across the Tunisia stock market, with 29 stocks up, 23 down and 23 unchanged out of 75 listed names. That breadth matters because it came on top of an already powerful year-to-date run: the TUNINDEX is up 37.69% in 2026, while the TUNINDEX20 has gained 37.26%. In other words, Thursday’s rise was not a bounce from weakness; it extended one of the strongest equity trends in the region this year.
