After the longest wave of weekly profits in a year .. What is the next for the Saudi Stock Exchange?
The Saudi Stock Market is interacting with various internal and external factors this week, after it recorded its third weekly profits for the first time in about a year last week amid a tangible improvement in trade values.

The value of trade exceeded 37 billion Riyals over the past week, increasing more than 10% of it last week. “The distinction is that the increase comes from the growth sectors, not the sectors with high -liquid values, and therefore the movement of the value sectors will boost the market. The purpose of this year is 14700 points,” according to Mohamed Zidan, the first financial analyst in “Al Sharq”. The results of the companies pay the market on the market that awaits more results this week after the index benefited last week from the announcement of the results of a number of banks from last year, all growing in profits such as “investment”, “Al -Rajhi”, “Al -Hly”, “Saudi Fransi” and “Development”.

Respond “OPEC+” to Trump’s requests? The market is also awaiting the “OPEC+” coalition meeting planned for the response of the coalition to US President Donald Trump’s demand to reduce the cost of oil.
