2018-08-02

 

Sahem Weekly Trading Report (29-07)-(02-08)-2018

The trading pace in Palestine Stock Exchange PEX was not different in this week than the other weeks; it is still weak and lacks any momentum. While Al-Quds Index increased by 0.03% than its previous weekly closing level, to record 541.40 points. On the other hand, the PEX witnessed a momentum in the significant news this week, whereby, the anticipation increases. While the PEX enters the last third of the legal period of the listed companies’ semi-annual financial data disclosures for the year 2018, noting that only three companies had disclosed their results till this moment.

 

Regarding the significant news of this week and as a step within the company’s strategy which seeks to reduce risks by diversifying its resources, distribute its supply size, and import construction materials from several sources with ensuring commitment to the previous agreements and obligations without breaching them, Sanad Construction Resources Company SANAD announced signing an exclusive supply agreement with Northern Cement Company NCCO in Jordan, which owns cement plants in Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Iraq. It is good to note that signing this agreement reflects the common agreement to supply cement from NCCO which is used in most brick factories in Palestine for its strength and durability, in order to meet the needs of the local market in the coming period. This step comes later to signing an agreement with Manaseer Cement and Mining Company in Jordan last year, which in turn succeeded on all levels.
