Industrial and Allied segment on the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange remained illiquid during last week’s trading session, accounting for only three per cent of the total market activity and 18 per cent of the turnover.The low activity during the week compared to the previous period was contributed by the two public holidays—the farmer’s day on August 8 and Eid el fitr—that led to the bourse closure for two consecutive days.
The Tanzania Securities Limited (TSL) weekly market commentary shows that Swissport was the most active counter among the Industrial and Allied sector during the week, trading 10,363 shares at a share price of 2,240/-.

However, the effect of the lost on the Indices was offset by the gains made on TCC and TBL Counters. The Banking Segment Index weakened to settle at 2,070.78 points from 2.084.77 points in the previous week while the Industrial and Allied Index improved to 2,075.33 points from last week’s 2,063.09 points.
NMB counter transacted 10,993 shares at the price of 1,740/-. Generally, the trading activity was relatively lower with the week-on-week turnover slipping to 489m/-, equivalent to 44.7 per cent down from 879m/- of the previous session.

The DSEI moved by 0.02 per cent to close at 1,611.48 points while TSI moved by 0.77 per cent to settle at 1,962.61 points, mainly driven by gains on TBL and TCC counters that gained by 40/- and 20/-, respectively.
