The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange is currently open with a mixed market performance, reflecting differing trends across Israel’s major equity benchmarks. While large-cap pressure is weighing on the TA-35 and TA-125, gains in the TA-90, TA-200, banking shares and selected market segments are helping to support the broader market.

TA-35 and TA-125 Face Selling Pressure

The TA-35 index is down 0.73% at 4,168.22, making it one of the weaker major benchmarks in the current session. The decline indicates that selling pressure is concentrated among some of Israel’s largest and most influential companies. The TA-125 is also lower, falling 0.36% to 4,013.80, suggesting that weakness extends beyond the narrowest large-cap benchmark.
The TA-20 is experiencing an even sharper decline of 0.65%, standing at 4,004.78. The simultaneous weakness across these indices points to selective profit-taking and caution among investors, although the broader market is not following a uniformly negative direction.
Trading activity remains substantial. Turnover in the TA-35 is approximately NIS 333.7 million, while the TA-125 has generated roughly NIS 411.9 million in turnover. These figures indicate that the declines are occurring alongside meaningful participation rather than exceptionally thin trading conditions.

TA-90 and TA-200 Provide Support

In contrast, the TA-90 index is gaining 0.87% at 3,545.23, representing the strongest percentage increase among the major indices displayed. The advance suggests that investor interest is extending beyond the largest companies and into a broader group of Israeli equities.
The TA-200 is also higher by 0.39% at 3,786.83, while the TA Sector-Balance index has added 0.17% to reach 4,534.09. The positive performance of these broader benchmarks provides an important counterweight to weakness in the TA-35 and TA-125.
The TA-90 has recorded approximately NIS 78.2 million in turnover, while the TA-200 has generated around NIS 415.4 million. The stronger performance of broader indices may indicate that investors are rotating toward selected opportunities rather than reducing equity exposure across the market as a whole.

Banking Shares and Market Breadth

Banking stocks are also contributing positively. The Tel Aviv 90 and Banks index is up 0.34% at 3,789.93, with turnover of approximately NIS 192.0 million. The performance suggests that financial stocks remain relatively resilient despite weakness in several headline benchmarks.
The SME60 index is gaining 0.14% to 1,254.33, although turnover remains comparatively limited at approximately NIS 7.0 million. Taken together, the figures show a market characterized by uneven breadth, with strength in selected sectors and broader benchmarks offsetting declines among several major indices.
Across the eight indices shown, combined reported turnover is approximately NIS 2.11 billion, demonstrating a meaningful level of market activity.

What Investors Should Watch Next

Investors will be watching whether the TA-90 and TA-200 can maintain their gains while pressure on the TA-35 and TA-125 remains contained. Banking performance, trading volume, sector rotation and movements in large-cap shares will be important indicators of the market’s underlying direction. The key opportunity lies in identifying areas where relative strength is developing, while the principal risks include renewed selling in heavyweight stocks and a broader deterioration in market breadth.
