Verified close
DSEI rose, TSI fell as NMB carried 67.2% of turnover
Signal
4,188.97 rose 0.15% while 9,173.10 fell 0.07%; TZS 4.528bn traded and NMB supplied 67.2%.
Why it matters
Nine names advanced and six declined, yet NMB and CRDB supplied 88.1% of turnover. Directional breadth and money distribution sent different signals.
What to watch
Whether the 6 August verified close brings DSEI and TSI back into the same direction while turnover broadens beyond NMB.
Did the domestic market and the headline index tell the same story over the covered quarter?
The domestic market against the headline index
As at 5 Aug 2026 · Source: Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange. Exact values and method remain in the static evidence table below.
Money traded
NMB and CRDB supplied 88.1% of the session’s turnover
Signal
NMB supplied 67.2% and CRDB 20.9% of TZS 4.528bn in verified equity turnover.
Why it matters
Twenty-one counters traded and advancers led decliners nine to six, but the top two banks absorbed most of the session’s money.
What to watch
Whether the 6 August close lowers the top-two share while traded-counter participation remains at or above 21.
Index split
DSEI rose 0.15% while TSI slipped 0.07%
Signal
4,188.97 gained 0.15% while 9,173.10 fell 0.07%; the all-share and domestic-only indices moved in opposite directions.
Why it matters
Cross-listed and domestic components did not send one market-wide direction, so the all-share headline did not describe the local board alone.
What to watch
The 6 August close tests whether the two indices reconverge or extend the split.
Policy transmission
The seven-day interbank rate fell back below the CBR
Signal
BoT’s seven-day IBCM rate fell 23bp to 6.21% on 5 August, four basis points below the 6.25% CBR.
Why it matters
Near-term interbank pricing converged on the policy anchor, while the latest 91-day bill remained about 290bp below it on a different date.
What to watch
The next verified IBCM observation and Treasury-bill result test whether the gap narrows or persists.
External buffer
Import cover cleared Tanzania’s floor but not the EAC benchmark
Signal
BoT placed official reserves around US$6bn and import cover at 4.3 months in the quarter to June.
Why it matters
Coverage exceeded Tanzania’s four-month statutory floor but remained below the EAC’s 4.5-month and SADC’s six-month benchmarks.
What to watch
The next official reserve print tests whether import cover clears the 4.5-month EAC benchmark.
The Ghost · edition context
The model-book allocation read
The Ghost’s hypothetical TZS 500m model book is +8.07% since inception at its 5 Aug mark. Split indices, concentrated turnover, near-anchor interbank pricing and reserve adequacy update the risk map — not trades.
Tape read: The hypothetical model book ended 5 August at +8.07% since inception. Advance-led breadth sat beside concentrated equity turnover, while split indices, the interbank-to-bill gap and reserve adequacy kept market, funding and external-buffer conditions visible. These are educational terrain observations, never positions or recommendations.

next accessible issuer or DSE copy
Compiled from public sources for information and education only — not investment advice, a forecast or a recommendation. Equity, index, breadth and turnover figures reconcile to the DSE verified close (5 Aug 2026); rates, reserves and FX use Bank of Tanzania publications, and inflation uses NBS. The current Wire hand-off was read first and contained two primary-grade cards. The CMSA annual-report card was omitted because the feed exposed no substantive figures, findings or rule changes. The AFRIPRISE Q2 card was omitted because the corporate PDF could not be opened in either governed research path; no candidate-card figure is promoted. The DSEI and TSI split is preserved rather than compressed into one market direction. The dated interbank and Treasury-bill observations are not presented as a same-day curve. The reserve visual expresses each disclosed month threshold as a share of the six-month SADC benchmark; it does not change the underlying 4.0, 4.3, 4.5 or 6.0-month observations. No foreign-flow split is inferred from the official DSE snapshot. Undated checkpoints remain explicitly undated. For live levels see Markets.
