Sahem Weekly Trading Report (26-30)-03-2023
Al-Quds Index ended the first quarter of 2023 in the green zone; up by 0.88% than the previous week, to close at the level of 656.70 points after trading in a relatively narrow range. This mainly came amid medium-volume transactions that were raised by executing a transaction of 1.17 million shares on the stocks of the National Insurance Company NIC. However and in this period, the variation scope concerning the traders’ interests is enhanced during this period; the buyer of the stock in this drop trend – discounted by dividends value- may be motivated by the historical technical performance of the share in pre and post the dividends entitlement announcement or by the expected company’s profits growth or else by the share’s attractive market indicators related to the new recorded low price. While the seller of a stock with discounted price by the dividends value may be motivated by liquidating his holdings in order to capture another stock that holds dividends in a near period or the trader himself has just achieved a targeted total shareholder’s return (dividends and capital gain).
