Tel Aviv Market Extends Recovery

Tel Aviv equities closed higher on September 17, 2026, extending the rebound that began in the previous session. The Tel Aviv-35 climbed 1.02% to 4,289.98, while the broader Tel Aviv-125 advanced 0.95% to 4,164.35.

The session was marked by improved market breadth, with 80 securities advancing within the TA-125 compared with 44 that declined. This represented another positive shift following the heavily negative breadth recorded during the September 15 selloff.

Broad Market Gains Spread Across Major Indices

The Tel Aviv-90 gained 0.48% to 3,789.66, supported by 54 advancing securities against 34 declines. The improvement suggests that participation extended beyond the largest companies, although the index remained below the 3,800 level.

The Tel Aviv-SME60 also advanced, gaining 0.81% to 1,320.59, while the Tel Aviv-200 increased 0.85% to 4,007.42. The Sector-Balance index rose 1.09% to 4,758.66, making it one of the stronger performers in the supplied data.

The Tel Aviv-20 gained 0.62% to 4,139.98, with 12 advancing securities versus eight decliners. Financial stocks were a notable exception to the broader gains, with the Tel Aviv 90 and Banks index edging down 0.07% to 4,053.44 despite 54 advancing securities and 39 declines.

Turnover Surges Across Stocks and Bonds

Trading activity increased substantially during the session. Total stock turnover reached approximately NIS 6.727 billion, while bond turnover stood at approximately NIS 6.027 billion.

The TA-125 recorded approximately NIS 5.713 billion in turnover, while the Tel Aviv-200 reached approximately NIS 5.824 billion. The Sector-Balance index also recorded approximately NIS 5.166 billion in turnover.

The elevated activity occurred alongside broad gains, making turnover one of the defining features of the September 17 session. The data shows that the market recovery was accompanied by substantial trading across equities and bonds rather than occurring during a low-volume session.

Individual Stocks Show Significant Divergence

Individual securities continued to record sharp moves despite the broad market advance. The supplied data identifies “The stock exchange moves in the cell” as the strongest notable gainer within the TA-125, rising 14.98% to 14,740. Pomegranate moved in the opposite direction, falling 4.90% to 13,200.

The same stock identified as the strongest gainer also recorded a trading cycle of approximately NIS 456.764 million, highlighting significant activity in the security.

The next sessions will show whether the latest rebound can develop into a more sustained stabilization after the sharp declines earlier in the week. Investors will likely monitor the TA-35 near 4,300, the TA-125 around 4,100–4,200 and the TA-90’s ability to continue recovering toward 3,800. Market breadth and the unusually high turnover will remain important indicators, particularly whether strong participation persists if the indices continue to advance. The divergence among individual stocks and the softer performance of the banking index also suggest that the recovery remains uneven across market segments.
