STR steals the session with a 9.8% jump as risk appetite returns
Trading on Wednesday, May 6, 2026 was defined by the surge in STR (Stroc Industrie), which closed up 9.8% at 218.5 MAD, the strongest gain on the Casablanca market. The move came within a clearly bullish session, with the MASI rising 1.66% to 18,939.74 points and the mid- and small-cap segment doing even better.
The key takeaway was not just STR’s rally on its own, but the fact that it happened inside a broader return to risk across the Morocco stock market. Market breadth was strong, with 48 advancers, 11 decliners and 21 unchanged stocks out of 80 listed names. That matters because it points to a session driven by broad participation rather than by a narrow lift from heavyweight banks alone.
