DSE weekly activity surges with strong gains in equity and bond turnovers

Dar es Salaam. Activity on the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE) expanded significantly during Week 25 of 2026, which ran from June 15, to June 19, 2026.

Market liquidity rose sharply across both equity and fixed-income boards, even as foreign investors maintained a net selling stance for the fourth consecutive week, according to an analysis by tanzaniainvest.com .

Equity market liquidity expands

Total equity turnover, excluding Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) transactions, reached Sh48.99 billion for the week.

This represents an 81.28 percent increase compared to the Sh27.03 billion recorded in Week 24,” the tanzaniainvest.com analysis reads in part.

Trading volume followed a similar upward trajectory, with 9,269,119 shares changing hands across 24,326 deals, marking a 33.26 percent rise from the previous week's 6,955,576 shares.

CRDB Bank PLC anchored trading volumes, leading the market with 5,961,196 shares traded.

National Microfinance Bank (NMB) dominated total financial turnover, generating Sh32.03 billion.

Alongside National Investments Company Limited (NICO), these counters remain the primary drivers of market liquidity.

Meanwhile, ETF trading across the two listed funds generated a combined turnover of Sh1.80 billion from 1,726,691 units.

This reflected a 63.20 percent increase in value over the previous week.

The IEACLC-ETF closed slightly higher at Sh1,200, up 0.84 percent, while the VERTEX-ETF fell 9.72 percent to settle at Sh325.

Capitalisation, Index Trends

Total market capitalisation concluded the week at Sh34,234.55 billion, an increase of 1.35 percent from Week 24.

Domestic market capitalisation rose by 0.63 percent to finish at Sh23,396.49 billion.

Performance across the DSE indices was mixed.

The All Share Index (DSEI) and the Tanzania Share Index (TSI) advanced by 1.35 percent and 0.63 percent respectively, supported by a 1.41 percent increase in the Banks, Finance, and Investment index.

Conversely, the Commercial Services index fell by 1.85 percent, and the Industrial and Allied index dropped 0.55 percent, extending its longest weekly losing streak of the year to four weeks.

AFRIPRISE emerged as the week's strongest corporate performer, climbing 11.57 percent to close at Sh675.

Foreign capital flows and fixed income

Local investors continued to drive the buy-side of the exchange, accounting for 99.26 percent of purchasing activity.

Foreign investors represented 30.06percent of total selling activity against just 0.74 percent of purchases, culminating in a net foreign weekly outflow of $5,459,271.

The bond market experienced a massive influx of capital, with total turnover surging by 242.08percent to reach Sh173.64 billion across 92 executed deals, up from Sh50.76 billion in Week 24.

This heightened fixed-income trading precipitated a steepening of the sovereign yield curve, as yields on the short end compressed more significantly than those on the long end.

The 5-year Treasury bond experienced the most volatile adjustment, with its weighted average yield falling by 427.2 basis points to settle at 10.0862percent.

The 25-year bond yield fell by a more moderate 165.8 basis points, closing the week at 11.6567percent.
