The Israeli stock market has reached a historic high, rising for the fifth consecutive quarter.

Jin10 data, September 30 - As investors bet that a 20-point plan negotiated between Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and U.S. President Trump may accelerate the end of the Gaza war, the Israeli stock market has hit a record high, solidifying its rising trend for the fifth consecutive quarter. The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange TA-35 index rose for the third time in the past four trading days, and is expected to accumulate a rise of 6.7% this quarter. Since April, investors have been continuously increasing their holdings in Israeli stocks. A weaker dollar and uncertainty in U.S. policy have prompted fund managers to diversify their investments, turning to global assets including emerging market stocks. Hasnain Malik, head of emerging market stocks and geopolitical strategy at Tellimer, stated: “Any factor that could potentially drive an end to the war would have a positive impact on Israeli asset prices. The key question regarding this peace plan is whether Hamas will accept this ultimatum, which is essentially equivalent to Capitulation, and whether the extremist ultra-Orthodox parties within Netanyahu's coalition government will accept what they may view as a first step towards a two-state solution.”
