A 6.0% jump in SOTETEL dominated trading in Tunis on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, with the TUNINDEX rising 0.35% to 19,921.82 points. The move stood out because it came as the USD/TND climbed 2.58% to 2.9385, immediately increasing the local-currency cost of imported telecom equipment and reminding investors that, in Tunisia, foreign exchange can matter as much as sector fundamentals.
The rally unfolded in a broadly constructive market, with 31 stocks up, 18 down, and 26 unchanged out of 75 listed names. That breadth points to selective risk appetite rather than a blanket rally, with financials and a handful of rebound stories doing most of the heavy lifting.
