Middle East Tensions Trigger Sharp Slide on Casablanca Stock Exchange

The escalation between the United States and Iran has sent shockwaves through the Casablanca Stock Exchange, driving the MASI index down almost 10% in two days. The market is reacting to soaring oil prices, rising logistics costs and the uncertainty over how long the Middle‑East conflict will last, erasing more than a dozen percent of gains recorded this year. Analysts point out that Morocco’s heavy reliance on imported energy makes oil the most sensitive driver for the local market. Combined with shipping disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz, the situation is pressuring inflation expectations, corporate margins and the cost of capital, leading to a rapid, broad‑based sell‑off.
