Within a trading level that is not different than its corresponding in the prior weeks, Al-Quds Index continued trading in narrow price range with resistance and support limits that have been formed since the beginning of the year on one hand and the routine disclosure season and cash distribution proposals on another hand.

Whereby, after the listed companies’ financial and operating data disclosures, which were distinguished for this year, the trading in Palestine Stock Exchange PEX  takes a new anticipation nature for the next period. Despite the sequence in the anticipation stages, the liquidity still drags the attention of all the traders’ categories as for what this dilemma can affect. Technically, the financial markets worldwide need acceptable liquidity levels to achieve the known objectives between the investor and issuer. While, to create this liquidity, the market needs attractive operational and financial indicators from the issuing companies that are listed.

The net income of the companies listed in banking and financial services’ sector followed by 28.50, and then came the net income of the companies listed in the investment sector by 13.70, and the industry sector by 9.30% and finally the insurance sector by 2.20%.
