Bahrain’s general and Islamic indices closed higher amid mixed performance across key sectors.

Manama, Bahrain – Bahrain Bourse indices closed higher today, with the general index recording a notable rise supported by strong performance in the banking and finance sector. The Islamic index also rose, influenced by selective buying of Sharia-compliant stocks, amid active trading and close monitoring from local and regional investors.

Exchange data showed that the general index closed higher than in the previous session, boosted by profits from several leading companies. Meanwhile, the Islamic index saw a slight increase in market capitalization due to a shift towards stable stocks that comply with Islamic principles.

Market experts stated that the improved performance of the indices reflects investor confidence in the Bahraini market, with expectations of continued positive momentum in vital sectors, particularly the financial and industrial sectors. This is supported by ongoing government policies aimed at enhancing the investment environment and attracting more foreign capital.

Investors are closely monitoring market movements amidst positive economic indicators in Bahrain, focusing on sectors that demonstrate resilience to regional and international fluctuations. This reinforces optimism that the markets will continue their upward trajectory in the short and medium term.
