The defining story across African stock markets today was not a single index move but a three-part shift that cut across the continent: South African miners surged, Tunis kept extending the strongest rally among the seven exchanges, and commodity-linked names in Casablanca regained momentum. By Friday’s close, the JSE All Share stood at 117,518.36 points, up 1.92% on the day, the TUNINDEX reached 20,042.75 points, up 49.02% in 2026, and Morocco’s MASI rose 1.48% to 18,329.91 points. The common thread was global macro: gold climbed to $4,340.7 an ounce (+2.3%), silver to $63.33 (+3.1%), while Brent ended at $83.55 a barrel, up 1.3% on the day even though it was down 0.3% over the week.
