 Sahem weekly trading report (02-06)-06-2024

In the first week of June, Al-Quds Index traded in a relatively narrow range, closing at the level of 538.73 points; up by 0.23% than its previous weekly closing level. While the Index recorded a decline of 8.48% compared to its yearly closing at the end of 2023. And if we exclude the off-floor trading that was very high in volume for this week, the normal trading in Palestine Stock Exchange PEX is still very weak and scarce, lacking any momentum. However, with the several and different reasons for the lack of liquidity, the majority of the Palestinian listed companies’ shareholders are still holding their financial positions, in hope to diminish all of these reasons to touch a reviving in the PEX in the coming period.

In the same context, Union Construction and Investment UCI noted realizing net loss of $0.05 million in Q1 2024, compared to net income of $0.24 million in Q1 2023.
