Markets

The DSE reopens at 4,082.43 with four declines behind it and the week's two dated events ahead

Signal

The market opens the week off the 10 Jul verified close of 4,082.43 (−0.17%), after four straight small declines and one TZS 137.7bn CRDB crossing.

Why it matters

Breadth ran negative all last week (7 up, 16 down) and Friday's turnover was 98% one block; the honest first read is board turnover without the crossing.

What to watch

Whether bank breadth on CRDB and NMB reasserts at ordinary turnover before the expected mid-week auction and Friday's Vision 2050 launch.

Did the domestic market and the headline index move together or apart over the covered quarter?

The domestic market against the headline index

As at 10 Jul 2026 · Source: Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange. Exact values and method remain in the static evidence table below.

Rates

The pass-through test arrives mid-week: 91-day bills at 3.45% still sit ~280bp below the 6.25% CBR

Signal

Auction No. 1202 (2 Jul) remains the latest on the BoT register; 91-day WAR 3.4549%, 364-day 7.1175%; No. 1203 is expected ~16 Jul (inferred cadence).

Why it matters

A policy rate the short bill ignores is a policy rate that isn't transmitting; the 364-day already clears the CBR, the 91-day does not.

What to watch

Whether the 91-day WAR steps toward 6.25% at No. 1203, and whether the 364-day holds above 7%.

Macro

June CPI, due mid-month, is the first clean read on the fuel-subsidy exit and the 50bp hike

Signal

May headline inflation held at 4.2% (April 4.0%); the June print due mid-July is the first month both the fuel-subsidy exit and the 2 Jul hike can show up.

Why it matters

Transport ran +11.9% y/y and diesel +13.8% in the May basket; June is where the fuel pass-through reaches the headline against the 3 to 5% band.

What to watch

The headline number against the 3 to 5% band, and the food vs energy contribution.

Policy

Vision 2050 launches Friday in Dodoma; the financing vehicles, LNG-Lindi foremost, are the market's real question

Signal

Dira 2050; a $1tn-economy, $7,000-per-capita plan across nine priority sectors; launches 17 Jul; the first five-year tranche is funded at TZS 12.50tn.

Why it matters

With donor grants set to fall ~39%, the path leans on private and external capital; the market-relevant content is which projects leave the podium with named vehicles.

What to watch

Named financing vehicles, investment MoUs signed around 17 Jul, and any listed-sector read-through in banks, cement and energy.

FX / Gold

The shilling starts the week at 2,636.59 on BoT's 13 Jul sheet as gold eases to about $4,092

Signal

USD/TZS stands at 2,636.59 on the BoT 13 Jul indicative sheet (10 Jul: 2,634.46); gold's BoT reference mark eased to ≈$4,092/oz on the same sheet.

Why it matters

The drift is small in shillings and decisive in dollars: at −7.6% YTD, the currency is subtracted from every TZS return before it reaches a hard-currency reader.

What to watch

Whether the drift persists through the Vision 2050 week, and whether BoT's ~28-tonne gold accumulation keeps supporting the reserve story.

The Ghost · edition context

The model-book allocation read

The Ghost's hypothetical TZS 500m model book is +4.13% since inception at the 10 Jul mark, with NMB Bank its largest equity position.

Tape read: For a bank-weighted model book this is a rates week before it is an equity week: the mid-week auction sets the risk-free hurdle the book competes against, and Friday's launch frames the credit demand banks might fund; educational, not advice.
