The move stood out because it came in a market still down 8.04% year-to-date, suggesting a sector rotation into selective defensive names rather than a broad-based recovery.
The macro backdrop was mixed. Brent crude fell 4.6% on the day to $107.38 a barrel, though it remains up 5.0% over one week, while the USD/MAD climbed 3.89% to 9.3829 and the EUR/MAD rose 3.16% to 10.749. For the Morocco stock market, that combination matters: a daily pullback in oil can ease the short-term energy import burden for a net importer, but a weaker dirham against both the dollar and the euro raises the local-currency cost of imported inputs, equipment and consumer goods.
