A sharp split defined the Tunis stock exchange today: STA surged 6.0% to 69.53 TND, the strongest move on Thursday, May 7, 2026, while the TUNINDEX index rose only 0.20% to 16,449.13 points. That gap matters because it shows the session was driven less by a broad market rally than by targeted sector rotation.
The distinction is important for reading the Tunisia stock market correctly. Financial Services climbed 1.40% on the day, while the Basic Materials index fell 0.81%. In other words, the benchmark’s gain came from selective buying in a few pockets of the market rather than a uniform improvement in risk appetite across all 75 listed names.
