A 1.27% drop in the EGX 30 told only part of Sunday’s story. Egypt’s benchmark closed at 46,404.3 points on 29 March 2026, but the more revealing signal came from sector rotation: property counters held up better than fertilizers, logistics and parts of the technology complex. In that context, the 1.5% decline in Talaat Moustafa Group to EGP 78.03 looked less like a sector breakdown and more like short-term repositioning in a market still dominated by currency pressure, with USD/EGP at 53.43, up 1.44% on the day.
Egyptian stock exchange today: weak breadth, selective resilience
Market breadth was decisively negative, with just 9 gainers, 32 losers and 5 unchanged names out of 46 tracked stocks. That matters because it shows the sell-off was broad-based rather than driven by one or two heavyweights. Trading remained concentrated in liquid names, led by Commercial International Bank, down 0.8% on EGP 418.7 million in turnover, while activity also stayed elevated in real estate and industrial counters.
