Riyadh, March 7, 2025 – The Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul) experienced a decline today, with the main index closing lower by 87.75 points, ending the session at 11,811.11 points. The market saw a total trading value of SAR 7 billion, reflecting a moderate level of investor activity. Despite the drop in the main index, a diverse range of sectors experienced fluctuations, contributing to the overall downturn.
In addition to the main index, the Saudi Parallel Market Index (NOMU) also recorded a decrease, shedding 258.75 points to close at 31,296.73 points. The total value of trades within the NOMU market was reported at SAR 34 million, indicating a relatively lower trading volume compared to the broader market. NOMU, known for its focus on smaller and emerging companies, is typically more volatile, and today’s performance mirrored this trend with a notable decline.
Throughout the trading session, a total of over three million shares were exchanged across both the main and parallel markets. While the overall sentiment for the day was negative, traders and investors remain focused on market movements as they navigate the shifting economic landscape. The decline in both indices underscores the challenges faced by investors amid broader market volatility, as various global and local factors continue to influence trading activity.
As the market continues to evolve, traders and analysts will be looking closely at the potential for a rebound or further declines, with attention focused on economic indicators and corporate earnings reports in the coming days.
