Saudi Arabia’s stock market ended the latest session on a positive note, with the Tadawul All Share Index rising by 0.41 per cent as a greater number of equities advanced than declined.

The upward movement reflected broad-based buying interest, even as some individual stocks recorded declines, including Riyadh Cement Co and Etihad Atheeb Telecommunication, which closed lower on the day.

Market breadth favoured gainers over losers, bolstering sentiment across the bourse and contributing to the overall uptick in the benchmark index.

The session underscored resilience in investor appetite despite mixed performances among individual shares, with more stocks finishing higher than lower at the close of trading.

Oil prices strengthened slightly, supporting energy-linked valuations and broader stability in Gulf markets during the closing bell.
