受沙烏地阿拉伯4月商業信心指數小幅上升提振,Tadawul股票本週收高。

By

-- 沙烏地阿拉伯交易所交易的股票本週收高,受沙烏地阿拉伯商業信心增強的提振,沙烏地阿拉伯綜合指數(Tadawul All Share Index)週四上漲0.75%。 根據沙烏地阿拉伯統計總局發布的報告顯示,沙烏地阿拉伯4月商業信心指數升至54.5,高於3月的52.1。報告期間內,工業、建築業和服務業的信心指數也都有所上升。 此外,美國和伊朗衝突有望結束也提振了市場情緒。路透社引述巴基斯坦消息人士的話報道稱,雙方正在努力達成一項臨時協議,以穩定霍爾木茲海峽局勢,並防止衝突再次爆發。 「有關美伊和平協議的報道越來越可信,巴基斯坦外交部表示預計『很快』就能達成解決方案,而華盛頓方面則預計伊朗將在48小時內做出回應。即便達成協議,Rystad Energy也警告稱,其對現貨石油市場的影響將比目前期貨價格反映的更為緩慢且更具不確定性,」Rystad Energy在一份報告中指出。 “這並非解決方案,而只是結構性的暫停,這一區別對現貨原油市場至關重要。” 在國內,又一批財報陸續發布。沙烏地阿拉伯公共運輸公司(SASE:4040,簡稱Saptco)和灌裝包裝材料製造公司(SASE:2180,簡稱Fipco)在截至3月31日的三個月內扭虧為盈。然而,中東紙業公司(SASE:1202,簡稱Mepco)在3月份的季度中卻出現虧損。 Saptco 和 Mepco 分別下跌 10% 和 0.28%,而 Fipco 則上漲 2%。 同時,國家學習與教育公司 (SASE:4291)(簡稱 NCLE)股價小幅下跌 0.75%,原因是該公司獲得了總額達 2.3 億沙特里亞爾的長期和短期符合伊斯蘭教法的信貸額度。這筆資金將用於其擴張計劃。
