Israel’s equity market recorded a uniformly negative session on September 9, with all eight indexes in the supplied data finishing lower. The declines ranged from 0.04% in the Tel Aviv-20 to 1.01% in the Tel Aviv-SME60.

The Tel Aviv-35, a key benchmark for the market, declined 0.06% to 4,273.70. Its relatively small move indicates that the session’s weakness was limited at the large-cap benchmark level despite the broader declines recorded across other indexes.

Trading turnover in the Tel Aviv-35 reached approximately NIS 2.011 billion, according to the supplied figures.

SME Stocks Record the Sharpest Decline

The Tel Aviv-SME60 was the weakest-performing index in the session, falling 1.01% to 1,365.95. The decline was considerably larger than the losses recorded by the market’s major broad-based benchmarks.

The index recorded turnover of approximately NIS 150.879 million. The data also shows 41 securities declining compared with 19 increasing within the index.

The sharper decline in the SME-focused benchmark stands out against the relatively modest movement in the TA-35 and Tel Aviv-125.

Tel Aviv-90 and TA-200 Also Decline

The Tel Aviv-90 fell 0.68% to 3,904.49, with turnover of approximately NIS 667.471 million. The index recorded 69 declining securities and 21 advancing securities.

The Tel Aviv-200 declined 0.48% to 4,088.33. Its turnover reached approximately NIS 2.811 billion, the highest turnover figure among the indexes shown in the supplied data.

The Tel Aviv-200 also recorded 139 declining securities compared with 60 advancing securities, reinforcing the breadth of the negative session.

Sector and Banking Indexes Move Lower

The Tel Aviv 90 and banks index declined 0.50% to 4,135.11. Turnover stood at approximately NIS 1.330 billion, with 71 securities declining and 24 increasing.

The Tel Aviv Sector-Balance index fell 0.37% to 4,812.85, while turnover reached approximately NIS 2.544 billion. The index recorded 70 declining securities against 30 advancing securities.

The relatively broad distribution of declines across these benchmarks indicates that the weaker session extended beyond a single market segment.

TA-125 and TA-20 Post Smaller Losses

The Tel Aviv-125 declined 0.24% to 4,179.05, with turnover of approximately NIS 2.679 billion. The index recorded 90 securities declining compared with 36 increasing.

At the other end of the performance range, the Tel Aviv-20 fell only 0.04% to 4,152.70. Turnover reached approximately NIS 1.649 billion, with 12 securities declining and eight advancing.

The narrow decline in the Tel Aviv-20 and TA-35 contrasts with the more pronounced weakness in the SME and broader market segments.

Market Snapshot

The September 9 session was uniformly negative across the indexes provided. The Tel Aviv-SME60 fell 1.01%, followed by the Tel Aviv-90 at 0.68%, the Tel Aviv-200 at 0.48%, the Tel Aviv Sector-Balance at 0.37%, the Tel Aviv-125 at 0.24%, and the Tel Aviv 90 and banks index at 0.50%.

Outlook

The next sessions will show whether the September 9 declines represent a temporary pullback or develop into a broader period of weakness. Investors will likely continue watching the TA-35 and TA-125 for direction while the sharper decline in the Tel Aviv-SME60 provides an additional measure of market breadth.

Closing Insights

The Tel Aviv market ended September 9 on a broadly negative note, with every index in the supplied data declining. The relatively limited 0.06% decline in the TA-35 contrasted with the 1.01% drop in the Tel Aviv-SME60, highlighting different levels of pressure across market segments. Meanwhile, the Tel Aviv-200 recorded the highest turnover at approximately NIS 2.811 billion. The session therefore combined broad market weakness with significant trading activity across several major benchmarks.
