The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange concluded its trading day with significant gains across its leading indices, driven by renewed optimism regarding the possibility of forming a government in Israel. This positive sentiment is expected to influence the market in the coming week, according to the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange's research unit.
The benchmark TA-35 index climbed 3.09%, the TA-125 rose 2.81%, and the TA-90 increased by 1.84%. The total trading volume in stocks reached approximately 4.1 billion shekels.

In contrast to the sharp rise in equities, the bond market experienced only minor fluctuations. The general Tel Gov index decreased by 0.08%, while the Tel Bond 60 linked to inflation weakened by 0.02%. The Tel Bond Shekel 50 index, however, rose by 0.03%. Trading volume in government bonds and Treasury bills amounted to about 3.3 billion shekels, with corporate bonds trading at approximately 470 million shekels.
Trading in the foreign exchange market saw the dollar trading around 3.20 shekels and the euro around 3.57 shekels. This trading day also marked the first session with the indices reflecting their newly updated compositions, including the debut of El Al and Doral Energy stocks in the TA-35 index.
The research unit noted that alongside domestic political developments, trading trends in the United States will also impact investor sentiment at the start of the next week. Following recent sharp declines in the US and Asia, futures on the Nasdaq indicated significant gains, suggesting that US market performance will largely shape the opening atmosphere in Tel Aviv next week. The unit anticipates that continued optimism about government formation could further support the stock market.
