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.

Friday's rise reached more traded shares

Both main indices rose, but two banks still carried most trading value

Signal

Both main share indices rose on Friday. Eleven of 20 traded companies gained, but CRDB and NMB still supplied 83.1 percent of share-trading value.

Why it matters

More counters rose than fell, but most money still traded through two banks. Direction broadened more than trading value did.

What to watch

The next verified close tests whether gains and trading value spread across more counters.

Market direction

Both main DSE indices rose on Friday

Signal

DSEI rose 1.83% and TSI rose 1.79% from 3 September to 4 September.

Why it matters

The two indices cover different groups of shares. Their shared direction was broader than Thursday's split movement.

What to watch

The next verified close tests whether both indices continue in the same direction.

Equity liquidity

CRDB and NMB supplied 83.1% of Friday equity turnover

Signal

The two banks supplied TZS 6.794bn of the verified TZS 8.176bn equity turnover.

Why it matters

Twenty counters traded, but most value passed through two banks. A broader rise did not create equally broad liquidity, meaning easy trading without a large price change.

What to watch

The next verified close tests whether trading value spreads beyond the two leading banks.

Macro publication clock

The August BoT review is listed, but its new figures remain open

Signal

Bank of Tanzania listed its August 2026 Monthly Economic Review on 5 September. The governed macro record still covers July observations.

Why it matters

A new report date does not verify its tables. Existing inflation, external-sector and other macro observations keep their original dates until the registered writer reconciles the report.

What to watch

Governed ingestion and reconciliation will show which observations can advance and which remain unavailable.

Public infrastructure

Mtumba Government City opens as completed infrastructure

Signal

An official Dodoma notice schedules the government complex opening for 8 September. It identifies buildings and services but states no new funding.

Why it matters

The opening marks delivery of public infrastructure. It is not evidence of a fresh financing commitment or a direct listed-company effect.

What to watch

Published operating budgets, service transfers or new procurement would show what changes after the opening.
