The day’s clearest contrast on the Tunis stock exchange today came down to one number: ASS MULTI ITTIHAD rose 5.9% to 4.30 TND even as the TUNINDEX fell 0.56% to 18,673.89 points. In a session where 28 stocks declined, against 17 gainers and 30 unchanged, the insurer stood out as the market’s most visible positive outlier.
That divergence matters because it came in a tougher external backdrop for Tunisia. The TUNINDEX20 lost 0.63% to 8,170.41 points, while macro pressure intensified through imported channels: Brent crude traded at $100.88 a barrel, the US dollar climbed to 2.991 TND, up 3.38%, and the euro rose to 3.3461 TND, up 3.06%. For a net energy importer such as Tunisia, that combination raises the oil import bill and increases the local-currency cost of imported inputs, helping explain why several domestic sectors traded lower.
