TASI Closes 0.60% Lower Amid Anticipation of Foreign Inflows

Summary

The Saudi main index (TASI) ended Monday's session with a 0.60% decline, closing at 11,100 points, amid mixed sector performance and the execution of private deals exceeding SAR 10 million, as the market continues to absorb the full opening decision for foreign investors.

📊 Investment Analysis
Today's close is a technical close reflecting the anticipation prevailing among traders following recent regulatory decisions. The current impact is liquidity-driven, resulting from portfolio rebalancing. The execution of private deals on "Tamkeen," "Fitaihi," and "Walaa" stocks indicates institutional confidence in the fair value of these stocks regardless of general index volatility. Technically, maintaining the 11,000-point level as psychological support is vital for resuming the upward trend that began in January.

🎯 What Should Individual Investors Do?

Speculators: It is preferable to wait for clear rebound signals and avoid speculating in sectors under sharp selling pressure like basic materials.
Medium-Term: Begin building gradual investment positions in stocks that showed resilience during today's session and have attractive P/E ratios.
Long-Term: Hold investment positions, as the full market opening to foreigners will enhance market efficiency and stability in the long run.
