A sharp divergence defined the Tunis stock exchange today: WIFACK INT BANK jumped 4.4% to 8.08 TND on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, even as the TUNINDEX index slipped 0.15% to 20,156.33 points. That gap points to a targeted rotation into selected financial names rather than a broad-based market advance, with 23 stocks rising, 32 falling, and 20 unchanged across the session.
The move matters because it came against a mixed tape. The financial services index rose 0.36% on the day and is now up 66.97% year-to-date, comfortably ahead of the TUNINDEX at +49.86% in 2026. In parallel, the macro backdrop remains demanding: the USD/TND climbed 1.74% to 2.9005, the EUR/TND gained 2.08% to 3.3491, and Brent crude held at $79.51 a barrel despite falling 11.8% over the past week. For a net energy importer like Tunisia, those cross-currents matter directly for sector positioning.
