- 02Friday’s rise did not reverse the weekly decline
- 03The one-year bill rate barely moved
The week in review: 5 to 9 October
Friday’s rise left share prices lower for the week
Signal
Share-price measures rose on Friday but ended the week lower. The small rebound did not erase the earlier falls.
Why it matters
From 2 to 9 October, all shares fell 0.74% and domestic shares 1.11%. Friday close: DSEI 4,597.48, TSI 10,142.06.
What to watch
Sector weights offer another explanation for the gap. Separate borrowing, currency and price data do not establish why shares moved.

Start with DSEI versus TSI, then test the money, breadth, rates, currency,hypothetical model-book terrain and household transmission chain. Every lens stays frozen to this edition's stated observations.

What remained after translating the week through USD/TZS?
A softer shilling reduced, but did not erase; the index gains.

TSI
Local-currency index change−1.11%
Mechanical USD translation−0.81%
USD/TZS weakened -0.30% over the matched weekly window. The hard-currency line is (1 + local index change) ÷ (1 + FX change) − 1; it is an index translation, not an investable portfolio return, and excludes dividends, costs and tax.
Share prices
Friday’s rise did not reverse the weekly decline
Signal
Friday lifted the main share-price measures. They still ended below the previous Friday, and sectors moved differently.
Why it matters
Domestic shares fell 1.11% for the week; all shares 0.74%. Sector weights can explain the gap without one market-wide cause.
What to watch
Commercial services rose 0.68%; banks fell 1.49%. Price changes do not reveal motives or count how many companies rose.
Government borrowing
The one-year bill rate barely moved
Signal
Shorter government borrowing rates rose at Wednesday’s auction. The one-year rate barely changed.
Why it matters
The 364-day yield was 6.2839%, versus 6.2852% on 23 September. Yield is the annualised return implied by the auction price.
What to watch
The 91-day yield rose to 3.4908% from 3.3872%. Auction yields do not establish what a saver receives after fees or tax.
Currency
The official dollar reference used fewer shillings
Signal
One US dollar required fewer shillings in Friday’s official sheet than a week earlier. Customer exchange prices can differ.
Why it matters
The finalized mean fell from TZS 2,641.4186 on 2 October to 2,631.3587 on 9 October. This is a reference, not a customer quote.
What to watch
A shilling share-price change and a dollar-based result differ. Fees, timing and exchange prices affect the conversion.
Cost of living
An unchanged inflation rate still means rising prices
Signal
Mainland prices kept rising at the same annual pace in September. That does not mean the shopping basket became cheaper.
Why it matters
The basket cost 4.3% more than a year earlier; food and non-alcoholic drinks rose 3.9%. The figures measure annual price changes.
What to watch
Whether households have more room to spend also depends on income and what they buy. This report does not measure that.

Go deeper →Opportunity Wire
A mining-levy review is not a verified fee change
Signal
Daily News reported a review of small-scale mining levies on Monday. The retained headline does not establish a new fee.
Why it matters
A levy is a charge paid to the state. If charges change, miners’ costs could change; no revised amount is verified here.
What to watch
A published fee schedule and effective date would establish a change. Full-article details are outside this retained evidence.

The model-book allocation read
The hypothetical Ghost model book recorded +17.64% since inception at the 9 October mark. Its Modified Dietz calculation accounts for contribution timing; it is not a live portfolio or an index return.
