The domestic market against the headline index

Index direction
Both headline indices returned to the same upward direction
Signal
4,177.96 rose 0.49% and 9,194.86 0.28% at the verified 12 August close.
Why it matters
Eleven advancers against five decliners made the rebound broader in direction than in money.
What to watch
The next verified close tests whether both indices stay aligned and breadth holds.
Money traded
NMB supplied 72.5% of the equity tape
Signal
NMB supplied TZS 3.504bn and CRDB TZS 0.894bn of TZS 4.832bn equity turnover.
Why it matters
Twenty-one counters traded, but the two-bank share left only 9.0% of value for all other counters.
What to watch
The next session tests whether value spreads beyond the two banks while participation holds.
Change dispersion
Swissport led gains while MCB formed the negative tail
Signal
SWIS rose 10.68% while MCB fell 4.21%; verified changes spanned both sides of zero.
Why it matters
NMG’s 3.70% quoted rise carried zero turnover, keeping quoted direction separate from traded liquidity.
What to watch
The next board tests whether the positive tail broadens without a deeper negative tail.
Treasury bills
The 91-day yield rose while the 364-day yield fell
Signal
The 91-day WAR rose about 9bp to 3.44%, while the 364-day WAR fell about 29bp to 6.74%.
Why it matters
The mixed move modestly flattened the observed bill segment; it was an auction result, not a CBR change.
What to watch
The next official bill result will test whether the mixed repricing persists.

Compiled from public sources for information and education only; not investment advice, a forecast or a recommendation. Equity, index, breadth, mover and turnover figures reconcile to the DSE verified close (12 Aug 2026). The 13 August USD/TZS mean and Q3 2026 CBR are separately dated Bank of Tanzania records; the FX value and sheet date come only from the exact governed fx.json observation. July inflation is the National Bureau of Statistics release dated 10 August. The current Wire handoff was read first. Its two primary-grade TRA items supplied no quantified measure, threshold or operative mechanism, so neither was promoted into a Brief story; the omission is deliberate. The reported cement-producer meeting remains a watch item because no price cap, input-cost relief or other intervention has been announced. Treasury-bill weighted-average yields are auction observations and remain separate from the fitted sovereign curve and the CBR. No foreign-flow split, same-day DSE close, administered cement price or undated bill-auction result is inferred. Undated checkpoints remain explicitly undated. For live levels, see Markets.
