A sharp divergence defined trading on Tuesday, July 14, 2026 in Casablanca: Med Paper surged 8.2% to MAD 26.5 even as the MASI index slipped 0.18% to 17,814.15 points and 42 of 80 listed stocks ended lower. The contrast was even starker because the MASI Mid and Small Cap index fell 0.95% to 1,772.58 points, making MDP’s rally a clear outlier rather than part of a broader mid-cap rebound.
That matters for anyone tracking the Casablanca stock exchange today. Tuesday’s session showed a Morocco market still willing to reward selective stories, but not one offering broad-based risk appetite. Higher energy prices and a weaker dirham against both the euro and the dollar shaped that caution: Brent crude rose 1.9% on the day to $84.85 a barrel and 11.2% on the week, while USD/MAD climbed 2.96% to 9.3215 and EUR/MAD gained 2.97% to 10.648.
