Today's Market

The market closed up 1pc, 400 pts at 38368. Weak crude prices did not deter sentiment that stayed positive from the outset. Buoyant regional markets lifted spirits after week long Eid holidays. 

Todays movers were primarily refiners and cements. NRL and ATRL hit upper cap while LUCK notched a 3.5pc gain.

HASCOl, AKZO, PKGS and SNGP all closed at uppercap. Efoods, LPL lost 5pc.

Outlook for the market remains positive but domestic political noise now that the PM is back could introduce volatility.
