06/06/2017
Saudi shares rose up for a second consecutive session to close at 6,964 points, winning 0.5 percent at the highest trading value in three months, nearly four billion riyals. The rising came with the support of most sectors, led by "banks", which is driven by the retract in the profitability of the profits and the circulation of some of its stocks value and the high valuation of some of its shares.
The market is now trading at the upper limit of a descending channel, meaning that if it continues to rise in today's session, it will exit the bearish path that started in April, making it more than 7000 easy to reach 7200 points. The 6850 levels are the support barrier for the rest of the week. The market did not pay attention to the boycott of Qatar, as its small size and weak trade exchange makes the eliminating of relations has an indelible impact on the Saudi economy. In addition to the lack of impact on the volume of maritime, air or land transportation, which makes the Saudi trade movement will continue unaffected.
