- The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange found markets perform better than average the year after elections.
- Market gains after elections often coincide with similar global trends.

A study by the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) indicates that the local market has historically performed better than average in the year following general elections. However, the study cautions against directly attributing these gains solely to the elections, as they often coincide with similar global market trends. The TASE research also found that concerns about an indecisive election outcome tend to manifest in the market only in the period immediately preceding the vote.
The upcoming Israeli elections are generating significant uncertainty in the domestic market, with polls failing to show a clear winner. The election results are expected to have a substantial impact on geopolitical developments, particularly the ongoing war, as well as on fiscal policy and potentially on Israeli democracy itself.
