Sahem weekly trading report (09-13)-03-2025
Within a week of slow and quiet movements that lacked any momentum in the general or individual performance, Al-Quds Index traded in a relatively narrow range, closing in the red zone. This came despite the continuous acceleration of the listed companies’ announcements regarding distributing dividends to the shareholders for the year 2024, in addition to the decline in the general incentives. However, the anticipation increases for the annual financial data disclosures of the banking sector which ends on 15/03/2025. While with the approaching end of Q1 2025, the coming period will witness new anticipation with the start of listed companies to disclose their quarterly financial and operational results, to charge some optimism for that could appear as new liquidity activity.
