The clearest takeaway from the Casablanca Stock Exchange today was not a sector rally but a sharp contrast: the MASI fell 0.96% to 18,224.41 points on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, even as dividend actions from Bank of Africa, MSA and GTM gave the market its main defensive narrative. In a session marked by 47 decliners against just 6 gainers, cash-return stories stood out precisely because price action elsewhere was so weak.
