Tunis Stock Exchange — TUNINDEX Gains 0.82% for July 6-10 Week as ATL and BNA Lift Financials
The TUNINDEX rose 0.82% in the week of July 6-10, 2026, led by financial stocks as ATL climbed 3.9% and BNA added 3.1%. CMF-driven filings and the launch of FCPR NOUMOU II also shaped trading across the market.

Tunisia’s equity market ended the July 6-10, 2026 week on a firmer footing, with the TUNINDEX up 0.82% at 20,158.70 points and the TUNINDEX20 rising 0.95% to 8,922.63 points. The clearest message from the week was the leadership of financial stocks: the Financial Services index gained 1.25%, the Banks index rose 1.05%, and the Insurance index added 1.23%, reinforcing the idea that domestic financial names remain the market’s main engine.
That move came against a macro backdrop that matters more in Tunis than in many larger exchanges. Brent crude rose 5.5% over the week to $75.92 a barrel, even though it slipped 0.5% on Friday, according to the market data provided. For Tunisia, a net energy importer, a weekly rise in oil prices feeds directly into concerns around the import bill, subsidies and fiscal balances. At the same time, the U.S. dollar weakened 0.41% against the dinar to 2.9255 TND, partly cushioning the oil effect, while the euro strengthened 2.07% to 3.3409 TND, a notable move for companies with euro-denominated import costs.
Key figures
- TUNINDEX: +0.82% for the week at 20,158.70
- Banks index: +1.05%; Financial Services: +1.25%
- SIPHAT: +4.4% at 4.47 TND
- ATL: +3.9% at 13.20 TND; BNA: +3.1% at 22.50 TND
Market context: financials set the pace on the Tunis stock exchange today
For any serious Tunis stock exchange today reading, this was a selectively bullish week rather than a broad-based surge. Market breadth stayed positive at 29 stocks up, versus 23 down and 23 unchanged, across 75 listed lines in the session data provided. That is not indiscriminate buying, but it is broad enough to validate the index gains, especially because the strongest support came from heavyweight financial segments.
Sector performance underlines that point. The market’s best-performing groups year-to-date are also the ones that carried trading this week: the Banks index is now up 57.5% in 2026, the Financial Companies index has gained 56.73%, and the Financial Services index is ahead 54.07%. By contrast, some consumer-linked areas were softer on Friday, with the Distribution index down 0.45% on the day, even though it still shows a 49.86% year-to-date gain.
The broader sector map remains constructive. The Industrials index is up 43.57% year-to-date, the Food and Beverage index has advanced 38.42%, and the Consumer Goods index is up 30.02%. That matters because it shows the TUNINDEX index is not relying on a single pocket of momentum. Still, in the week of July 6-10, financials were clearly the immediate driver.
Main story: ATL and BNA extend the financial rally
The core story of the week was the continued strength in financial names, led by ATL, which climbed 3.9% to 13.20 TND, and BNA, which rose 3.1% to 22.50 TND. Attijari Bank added 2.2% to 94.00 TND, while BT gained 1.6% to 9.55 TND and Attijari Leasing advanced 1.5% to 40.69 TND. The fact that gains were spread across banking, leasing and broader financial services gives the move more weight than a one-stock spike.
Why are financials attracting capital now? First, the Tunisia stock market remains heavily domestic in character, and investors often rotate toward the most liquid and easiest-to-price names when the external backdrop turns mixed. The 5.5% weekly rise in Brent is a reminder of macro pressure for an energy-importing economy, but the 0.41% drop in USD/TND softens part of that blow. In that kind of environment, banks and financial companies are often seen as the most direct way to express confidence in domestic credit, recurring earnings and dividend flows.
Second, the weekly move sits inside an already powerful year-to-date trend. When the Banks index is up 57.5% in 2026, another 1.05% weekly gain suggests profit-taking has not broken momentum. That is especially relevant after the market had already tested the 20,000-point threshold on the benchmark, as discussed in Bourse de Tunis — Astree grimpe de 4,5% alors que le TUNINDEX approche 20.000 points.
SIPHAT tops gainers, but the real story is rotation
The biggest individual gainer among the main movers was SIPHAT, up 4.4% at 4.47 TND. It was followed by ATL at +3.9%, BNA at +3.1%, then UNIMED at +2.6%, SIAME at +2.2%, Attijari Bank at +2.2%, MPBS at +1.9%, and SOTUMAG at +1.7%. That spread of winners shows the market was not driven by one isolated theme, even if financials remained the backbone.
SIPHAT’s move should still be kept in perspective. A 4.4% rise in a single stock is eye-catching, but it does not carry the same index impact as coordinated gains across several major financial names. For a proper Tunisia market recap, the more important takeaway is therefore not SIPHAT’s top ranking by itself, but the ability of banks, insurers and leasing companies to pull the benchmark higher together.
CMF filings, dividends and private capital kept the tape busy
As is often the case in Tunis, regulatory flow from the CMF helped shape the week. According to official notices, there were 20 announcements during the period, including capital issuance statistics as of June 30, 2026 and debt issuance statistics as of June 30, 2026, both released on July 6. Those data points matter because they offer a read on market-based financing in an exchange where issuance activity remains a useful confidence gauge.
One of the most visible files was FCPR NOUMOU II, with a public offering prospectus and the opening of its first subscription period on July 9, according to official announcements. That matters beyond the fund itself: it signals that private capital and alternative financing structures are still seeking money in a market where bank lending is not the only channel.

Not every filing triggered an immediate price reaction, but in Tunisia’s market structure, regulatory disclosures often matter more than broker research, which remains relatively limited. That is why official notices can shape sentiment even when daily price moves look modest.
Decliners: autos, tech and selected industrials lagged
On the downside, losses were more scattered. TUNINVEST-SICAR fell 4.5% to 50.39 TND, SANIMED dropped 4.3% to 0.45 TND, MODERN LEASING lost 2.2% to 4.50 TND, and BTE (ADP) declined 2.1% to 7.30 TND. Among more closely watched names, ENNAKL AUTOMOBILES slipped 1.7% to 23.75 TND, SMART TUNISIE fell 0.7% to 28.30 TND, and CITY CARS eased 0.8% to 24.50 TND.
Autos and distribution remain especially sensitive to the currency-cost equation. The 2.07% rise in EUR/TND mechanically increases some import costs and can weigh on margin expectations for importers and distributors exposed to the euro area. That helps explain why names such as ENNAKL and CITY CARS did not follow the financial rally, even with the broader market in positive territory.
Industrial and technology-linked names also traded in a more selective way. The decline in SMART TUNISIE and the presence of POULINA GP HOLDING among stocks with announcements this week point to a market that is increasingly discriminating between stories based on cost exposure, domestic demand and strategic developments.
Outlook: watch first-half activity updates, CMF flow and oil
For the coming week, the market’s focus will likely stay on the pace of CMF disclosures and the first meaningful signals on first-half 2026 business activity. Retail investors will also track the follow-through from this week’s files, especially FCPR NOUMOU II, AGM-related notices and already-announced dividend payments. On the macro side, the path of Brent near $75.92, USD/TND at 2.9255, and EUR/TND at 3.3409 will remain central. In the Tunisia stock market, energy costs and foreign-exchange moves still feed directly into corporate margins, which is why they continue to shape sector leadership on the Tunis exchange.
