Trading gravitated toward Attijariwafa Bank on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, with MAD 44.5 million changing hands, the heaviest turnover on the board, even as the stock slipped only 0.6%. In a session where the MASI fell 1.56% to 16,892.55 points and 54 of 81 listed stocks closed lower, that relative resilience from the banking heavyweight stood out as a stabilising signal in an otherwise weak Casablanca stock exchange today.
The contrast was sharper in riskier pockets of the market. The MASI Mid and Small Cap index dropped 2.42% to 1,623.91 points, taking its year-to-date loss to 11.82%, while the MASI 20 shed 1.60% and is now down 17.74% in 2026. In other words, the Morocco stock market punished higher-beta and thinner-liquidity names more aggressively, while large-cap financials absorbed the selling pressure better.
