The Namibia 30 Index (NAX30) recorded a constructive trading week following the resumption of activity on the Namibia Securities Exchange (NSX) after the public holiday on Monday, 4 May 2026.
The week began on Tuesday, 5 May 2026 with a positive reopening gap, reflecting accumulated external market repricing during the non-trading period. NAX30 opened at 10,078.64 points, up +72.16 points (+0.72%) from the previous trading session close of 10,006.48 points recorded on 30 April 2026.

On Wednesday, 6 May 2026, the market strengthened further as financial-sector and dual-listed constituents supported broader index appreciation. NAX30 closed at 10,236.82 points, up +147.10 points (+1.46%) from Tuesday’s close.
By Thursday, 7 May 2026, market conditions shifted into consolidation mode. While the NSX Overall Index remained relatively firm, the NSX Local Index traded broadly flat with slight softness at the open, indicating stabilization following the earlier repricing activity. NAX30 closed at 10,276.44 points, preserving the majority of gains accumulated earlier in the week.
Overall, the NAX30 advanced from 10,006.48 points to 10,276.44 points during the shortened trading week, representing a net gain of +269.96 points (+2.70%).
The week’s performance reflects a combination of:
• post-holiday external repricing,
