Specifically, in Friday’s (5/12) session, the GD is up +0.34% and trading at 2,097.75 points, moving in a narrow range of fluctuation, namely between 2,094.23 (low of the day) and 2,099.59 points (high of the day).

Nervousness and several “ups and downs” were the picture that prevailed in yesterday’s session of the HA. Buyers barely prevailed, and the General Index returned to the 2,090-unit level. At the same time, it is heading for its fourth consecutive weekly rise, as long as it does not retreat more than -0.35%, i.e., does not fall below 2,083.15 points (last week’s close). It is about -1.7% off this year’s highs, and its yield is more than +42% through 2025.
