Sahem weekly trading report (02-06)-03-2025
With the start of March and the holy month Ramadan, Al-Quds Index closed in the green zone, trading in a relatively narrow range. While the normal trading was scarce, lacking any trading momentum and there were absence of institutional transactions that may raise the trading value in market from time to time. This coincided with the routine trading period of the holy month of Ramadan despite the clearer vision that was formed of the financial returns expectations with the momentum increase of the dividends distribution proposals. However, in waiting for new positives with the approaching end of Q1 2025 to start the anticipation for the quarterly financial data, the investors’ appetite is still open to grab investment positions’ opportunities.
