Saudi Arabia’s Tadawul All Share Index (Tadawul) closed the first quarter of 2017 on a negative note, declining 3 percent--or 208 points--to 7,002 compared to the 7,210 level seen at the end of 2016.
This drop was mainly due to the weak performances in February and January when the index lost 2 percent and 1 percent, respectively. In March, however, the benchmark gauge edged up nearly 1 percent.
The index hit its highest level of 7290 points on January 2 and its lowest at 6710 points on March 14.
It also hit its maximum daily limit (114 points) on January 23, and set its lowest daily limit (113 points) on January 11.
The total trading turnover declined steeply--by 32 percent in Q1 2017 to SAR 251.4 billion, compared to SAR 368.3 billion in the same period last year.
The index’s highest daily trading value was SAR 5.8 billion on January 2, and the lowest was SAR 2.6 billion, reached on March 12.
The market sectors ended on mixed note in Q1 2017. Thirteen sectors declined during the period, led by Media, which lost 16 percent. Transportation (15 percent) followed, and Banks (4 percent) and Materials (2 percent).
On the other hand, seven sectors ended in the positive territory, topped by REITs which rose by 17 percent, followed by Retailing as well as Food and Staples Retailing (8 percent each).
