Tunisia’s equity market regained momentum on Monday, September 14, 2026, with the TUNINDEX rising 1.03% to 19,121.0 points and the TUNINDEX20 adding 1.14% to 8,357.58 points. The key story was not just the headline gain: financials, led by banks, took control of the session even as the U.S. dollar climbed 3.09% against the dinar to 2.9145 TND and Brent crude jumped 3.6% to $108.35 a barrel.
That mix matters for understanding the Tunis stock exchange today. Tunisia is a net energy importer, so oil above $108 and a weaker dinar against the dollar raise the local-currency cost of fuel imports, external financing and, eventually, operating expenses for non-financial corporates. Yet the market chose to reward banks, suggesting investors also see this backdrop as relatively supportive for intermediation income and for the relative valuation case of financial stocks versus more input-exposed sectors.
