Friday’s verified close

More money traded in shares as both price indices fell

Signal

More money changed hands in shares on Friday. Both main share-price measures fell, so busier trading did not mean higher prices.

Why it matters

DSE All-Share 4,631.77 (-0.18%); Tanzania Share Index 10,255.60 (-0.21%). Share trading value rose to TZS 4.27bn from TZS 3.30bn.

What to watch

Trading value measures money exchanged for shares. It does not reveal the reasons investors bought or sold.

Capital System Pulse

Across Tanzania’s markets

Each observation is frozen to this edition and keeps its own date. Price and NAV changes do not establish capital flows.

Index anatomy

Which shares drove the gap?

Share contributions await verified market caps for both closes. No contribution is estimated.

Share trading

Busier share trading accompanied lower price indices

Signal

Friday’s share trading value rose to TZS 4.27bn from Thursday’s TZS 3.30bn.

Why it matters

These totals include pre-arranged trades. More money traded does not mean share prices rose or establish investor confidence.

What to watch

The next DSE report can show the trading value and price changes. Its publication timing is unconfirmed.

Currency

The dollar reference is lower than Friday’s

Signal

One United States dollar has a lower official shilling reference on 5 October than on 2 October.

Why it matters

Bank of Tanzania means: TZS 2,639.25 on 5 October, TZS 2,641.42 on 2 October. Today’s figure is provisional, not a customer exchange price.

What to watch

The next dated currency sheet can establish a new comparison. Publication timing is unconfirmed.

Farm water supply

Mpanda irrigation spending reported; harvest gains remain unproven

Signal

Daily News reports TZS 33.9bn of government spending on irrigation in Mpanda.

Why it matters

The project aims to supply water for 3,500 hectares. Construction is reported as 83% complete; higher harvests and income remain expectations.

What to watch

Completed works and farm output would test the intended benefit. No completion date is given.
