Read: Above zero means the domestic index led. Below zero means the all-share led. A flat line near zero means their paths were similar.

Index scope differs. The measure adds only sessions with comparable published returns and is not a portfolio return. The excluded session remains disclosed in the values table.

Political Risk

Saba Saba passes as a shutdown, not a clash: Kariakoo deserted under heavy security as the market reopens

Signal

Saba Saba passed as a shutdown, not a clash; Kariakoo deserted, businesses shut and transport grounded under heavy security.

Why it matters

Deterrence held at a visible one-day economic cost; quiet-by-lockdown is not quiet-by-consent, but the runway to the 17 Jul Vision 2050 launch is clear.

What to watch

The reopening DSE tape, and whether the grievance channel resurfaces before the 17 Jul Dodoma launch.

Why it matters

Why it matters
