Tadawul Shares End Tuesday Muted on Partial Hezbollah-Israel Ceasefire Deal

Saudi Arabian equities were subdued on Tuesday, with the Tadawul All Share Index closing at 0.05% in the green as Lebanon and Israel took steps to de-escalate the Middle Eastern conflict.Investors cheered as Lebanon disclosed a partial ceasefire deal between Israel and Hezbollah. The deal will see Hezbollah cease its attacks on Israel, while the Israeli side will avoid attacking Beirut and Hezbollah-controlled suburbs.Market watchers welcomed the news as an Israel-Lebanon ceasefire deal was one of Iran's conditions to end its conflict with the US. However, the US said that the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah was not related to its conflict with Iran."A little later, further escalatory risks came into play, as Iran also threatened to target northern Israel if Israel continued attacks on Lebanon. That was according to Iran's ISNA news, who cited the country's Central Military Command. This marked a clear shift from the more hopeful tone of last week. The mood did then improve later in the session as Trump sought to de-escalate the tensions in Lebanon, with the US President claiming that Israel and Hezbollah agreed to "stop shooting" at each other after his calls with their respective leaders," Deutsche Bank Research said in a note.Back at home, Axelerated Solutions for Information and Communication Technology (SASE:9637) shares ticked up 3.96% as it signed a memorandum of understanding to acquire a 30% stake in the Shaheen Electronic Insurance Broker platform.Meanwhile, Anmat Technology for Trading (SASE:9639) won a contract from Saudi Energy Co.
