Protect the shares of the Saudi Stock Exchange from the losses of world markets?
Investors around the world are carefully monitoring the movements and statements of US President Donald Trump, which has led them to adopt a more negative view of the markets, amid the escalation of the fear of delaying economic growth in the United States. This comes in light of Trump’s escalation of the commercial war, its continuation in reducing government spending and reform for decades. This move in the mood is striking to less than two months after Trump took over the presidency, which was welcomed in “Wall Street”, which raised the shares, Benkin and the dollar. We are waiting today during the trade session in the Saudi Market, the scope of this concern about the listed shares, especially after the Asian stocks dropped for the third consecutive session on Tuesday, after the Nasdaq 100 index has fallen at the lowest level in seven months since 2022 index, while the Nikai 225 index has dropped since the lowest level since September. Futures for equity indicators such as “S & B500”, “Nasdaq 100” and European markets in Asian trade have fallen into the depth that took place on Monday. However, the Saudi stock market is still coherent for this unrest, as the level of the decline was less than the rate of the global markets. The “Tassi” index ended the last session transactions, down 0.8% at 11745 points, with a relative increase in the value of trading to 5.3 billion Riyals, compared to 4 billion in the previous session. The banking sector limits the market losses. The banking sector still plays a major role in reducing the losses of the General Index of the Saudi Stock Market compared to the rest of the sectors that recorded a collective decline on Monday, at a time when the ‘finances’ shares confirmed to the maximum allowed in the first sessions of their circulation. The energy sectors fell 1.27%, public facilities 2.7%, basic materials 1.5%, communications 0.15%, while the banking sector increased by 0.8%. Thamer Al -SAEED, head of the asset management at the “Disana Finance” business, believes that the results of “the banking sector were sudden factors for investors and the market, and are reflected in the performance of the sector since the announcement of the results until the moment.” Among the shares of the banking sector, which represents about 35% of the relative weight of the general index, the shares of “Al -Rajhi Bank” increased by 1%, the “National Saudi Bank” by 1.3% and “Riyad Bank” by about 4.5%. “The banking sector is still the best among the sectors in terms of the ability to generate good profits for shareholders, in addition to cash distributions, and this comes amid good reviews compared to the rest of the sectors in the market, and these factors always move the banking sector, even in declines,” says Ahmed Al -Rashid, the first financial analyst in the newspaper ” -iqtisadiah ”. ‘Financial Essay’ shares, the focus continues in today’s session on the ‘financing’ shares, which jumped 30% in the first sessions that traded to close the stock at 39 Riyals. According to CEO Mohamed Al -Shammasi, the company intends to maintain “generous” profits in line with its policy over the past two years by distributing 60% of profits to shareholders, according to CEO Mohamed Al -Shammas. ‘Dray’ collected 1.5 billion Riyale ($ 400 million) of the first general offer of a 20%stake in the first public offering in the Kingdom in 2025. Abd Rabbu Zaidan, head of the Department of Research and Studies at the Financial Number Portal, said that the ‘Dariyah’s arrow’ has a major claim of the appropriate evaluation of the offer price. “If the shares are allocated in the initial proposals, their number is very few, which is why investors in the market are trying to obtain a greater amount of shares, which is why there is a height, especially because the judgments are getting somewhat fair in the past period,” Zidane said. He added that the price of the offer is “almost familiar with about 16 times … As long as the evaluation is fair, the appetite will be present for investors of individuals and businesses, even if the market is in general.” Al -Rasheed believes that “a somewhat other knowledge of the rest of the businesses in the market is because it is in a new sector, so there may be a greater activity on the arrow and perhaps a redistribution for the governor to enter the new sector in terms of assets and mediation.
