The Tunis Stock Exchange closed on Friday, September 18, 2026, with a slight decline.
The Tunindex fell 0.12% to 19,021.62 points and the Tunindex20 dropped 0.14% to 8,311.31 points.
But behind the 25.7 million dinars of capital traded shown for the session, equity trading amounted to only 5.3 million dinars.
Key figures
- Tunindex: 19,021.62 points, -0.12%.
- Total capital traded across all markets: 25.707 MD.
- Equity trades: only 5.313 MD.
- Debt securities represent 17.221 MD, about 67% of the total.
- Four of the ten lines on the official Top/Flop had no transactions.
- The Tunis Re rights TRDS6 totaled 130,226 traded rights.
However, the Tunindex nevertheless shows a year-to-date gain of 41.43%, while the Tunindex20 remains up 39.09%.
The total of 25.707 million dinars of capital traded could lead one to believe of a particularly lively session. The reality of the equity market is much more modest: 5.313 million dinars only, for 622,557 shares and 1,703 transactions.
No block transaction was recorded during the session.
The session’s misleading figure
Debt securities alone account for 17.221 million dinars, i.e., around 67% of total capital traded.
Listed equities weigh only 20.7%. Also added are about 2.700 million dinars of registrations and 472,961 dinars in off-exchange trading.
Two dinars out of three traded on Friday at the Tunis Stock Exchange were therefore in debt, not in equities.
Top 5: the strongest gains to be interpreted relative to volumes
Best Lease thus records the strongest gain of the session with only 1,479 dinars of traded capital, which requires putting the move into perspective.
Sotemail and Sanimed are, for their part, flagged “H” in the Official Bulletin: they were upwardly flagged and had no trades executed.
Among the top five gainers, STA is the one that best combines price progression with meaningful activity, with around 138,050 dinars traded.
