19/06/2018 Argaam Special

 

Saudi Arabia’s Tadawul All Share Index (TASI) jumped 11 percent, or 844 points in the period between July 2017 and June 12, 2018 (Eid Al-Fitr this year and last year), extending its solid performance for the second consecutive year, data compiled by Argaam showed.

 

The benchmark index closed at 8,270 pts ahead of Eid Al-Fitr holidays, compared to its closing at 7,426 in the same period last year.

 

The market gained 14 percent, or 1,044 pts for the period from Jan. 2018 until the end of Ramadan, driven by several factors, mainly Tadawul’s inclusion in the FTSE Russell emerging market index.

 

MSCI will announce Saudi Arabia EM upgrade status on Jun. 20.
