The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange ended the latest reported session with a mixed performance across major equity benchmarks, highlighting a growing divergence between large-cap shares and segments of the broader market. The latest data supplied for August 28, 2026, showed renewed pressure on the Tel Aviv-35 and Tel Aviv-125, while the Tel Aviv-90 and banking shares moved higher. Bond markets also showed a firmer tone across several major indices.

Large-Cap Shares Face Renewed Pressure

The Tel Aviv-35 closed at 4,172.26 points, down 0.51% for the session. The decline came alongside 22 declining securities and 14 advancing securities, indicating moderately negative breadth among the index constituents. Turnover in the broader stock market reached NIS 3.62 billion, providing a relatively active backdrop for the session.

The Tel Aviv-125 also declined, falling 0.30% to 4,081.95 points. However, market breadth within the index was less negative than the headline performance suggested, with 70 securities advancing against 50 declining securities and six unchanged. This indicates that weakness was not uniformly distributed across the broader equity market.

Mid-Caps and Banks Provide Support

While the major large-cap benchmarks weakened, other equity segments demonstrated greater resilience. The Tel Aviv-90 advanced 0.42% to 3,799.35 points, supported by 56 advancing securities compared with 28 decliners. Six securities were unchanged.

The Tel Aviv-90 and Banks index also finished higher, gaining 0.14% to 4,014.19 points. The session recorded 57 advancing securities and 32 declining securities, suggesting that the banking and related segment continued to provide support despite the decline in the largest benchmark.

The Tel Aviv-125 Value index strengthened by 0.25% to 4,275.14 points, with 37 advancing securities versus 19 declining securities. This relative strength suggests that value-oriented shares remained more resilient than some of the broader large-cap market.

Bond Market Shows Broad Strength

Fixed-income trading presented a more constructive picture. The All-Bond General index gained 0.07% to 433.01 points, with 464 advancing securities compared with only 58 declining securities and 33 unchanged. The breadth of the move was particularly notable compared with the mixed performance in equities.

The Tel Bond-Adjoined A index rose 0.11% to 440.02 points, while the Tel Bond 60 Adjacent index gained 0.08% to 429.30 points. The short-term bond index also advanced 0.08% to 478.01 points.

Bond-market turnover stood at NIS 1.27 billion in the latest session, below the NIS 3.62 billion recorded in the stock market. Nevertheless, the positive performance across several bond benchmarks points to continued demand for fixed-income exposure.

Looking ahead, investors will likely monitor whether the weakness in the Tel Aviv-35 and Tel Aviv-125 develops into a broader market correction or remains concentrated among large-cap shares. The continued strength of the Tel Aviv-90, banking-related shares and value index could provide an important counterweight, while the broad advance in bond securities will remain relevant for assessing risk appetite. Trading volumes, market breadth and the direction of the major bond indices will be key signals to watch in the next sessions, alongside any developments that could affect domestic economic expectations and investor positioning.
