This month is the last in the fourth quarter, with the decline in the profitability of the market and the improvement in current returns. We may find moves from the investment portfolios towards the return shares, which will result in the performance of the general index, in addition to buying operations to anticipate the announcement of the annual results. The market continues to have catalysts, which are becoming increasingly important over time, including its accession to global indices that increase the flow of foreign investments that have been loosened by the CMA, and markets usually move positively before any market joins global indices. The revised fiscal balance will be announced, which seeks to step up support to ease pressure on the private sector and boost economic growth. The month is likely to end above 7000 levels in light of the current positive data and the stability of Brent crude prices above $ 60.
