Israeli Equities Recover Across Major Benchmarks

Israeli equities rebounded on October 26, with all eight listed benchmarks closing higher. The Tel Aviv-35 advanced 1.99% to 4,206.35, while the Tel Aviv-125 gained 1.81% to 4,108.05. The Tel Aviv-90 rose 1.01% to 3,811.77, indicating that the recovery extended beyond the largest companies, although gains were stronger in the leading benchmarks.

The move followed the October 23 decline, when the Tel Aviv-35 lost 1.01% and the Tel Aviv-125 fell 0.81%. The latest session reversed those losses in percentage terms for both indices, with the Tel Aviv-35 returning above 4,200 and the Tel Aviv-125 moving above 4,100.

Other benchmarks also advanced. The Tel Aviv-200 gained 1.28% to 3,991.39, while the Tel Aviv Sector-Balance index rose 1.49% to 4,731.09. The Tel Aviv-90 and Banks index increased 0.92% to 4,025.84, and the Tel Aviv-SME60 added 0.51% to 1,278.91. The Tel Aviv-20 climbed 1.99% to 3,998.45, matching the percentage gain of the Tel Aviv-35.

Broad Market Participation Supports the Advance

The market’s breadth figures provide further evidence that the recovery was widespread. Within the Tel Aviv-125, 105 securities advanced compared with 19 that declined. The Tel Aviv-35 recorded 34 advancing securities and just two declining securities, while the Tel Aviv-90 registered 71 advances against 17 declines.

The Tel Aviv-200 recorded 149 advances and 45 declines. The Tel Aviv Sector-Balance index reported 84 advancing securities and 14 declining securities. Meanwhile, the Tel Aviv-SME60 was more mixed, with 38 advances and 21 declines.

These figures suggest that the session’s gains were supported by participation across a broad range of listed securities rather than being limited to a small number of index constituents. However, the available data does not identify the catalysts behind the rebound or establish whether the positive momentum will continue.

Trading Turnover Rises Across Equities and Bonds

Stock turnover reached approximately NIS 4.93 billion, based on reported trading of NIS 4.933 billion. Bond turnover totaled approximately NIS 4.63 billion, placing activity in the two market segments at relatively similar levels.

The Tel Aviv-125 recorded approximately NIS 3.77 billion in turnover, while the Tel Aviv-200 registered around NIS 3.84 billion. Turnover in the Tel Aviv-35 reached approximately NIS 2.70 billion. The Tel Aviv Sector-Balance index recorded approximately NIS 3.51 billion, while the Tel Aviv-20 registered around NIS 1.88 billion.

These index-level turnover figures provide insight into activity across different segments, but they may overlap and should not be added together to calculate total market turnover. The overall figures show that the advance occurred alongside substantial trading activity.

Individual Stocks Diverge Despite the Market Rally

Within the Tel Aviv-125, Palo Alto rose 9.97% to 120,030, making it the strongest reported gainer in the supplied data. Arit Industries moved in the opposite direction, falling 5.68% to 1,345.

The contrasting performances show that a broadly positive session did not eliminate company-specific weakness. The available figures do not establish the reasons behind either movement, so further company disclosures or market information would be needed to assess the underlying drivers.

What Investors Should Watch Next

The next sessions will help determine whether the rebound can hold above key round-number levels. The Tel Aviv-35’s return to 4,206.35 and the Tel Aviv-125’s move to 4,108.05 provide useful reference points for monitoring near-term direction. The Tel Aviv-90’s ability to extend its more moderate advance will also be relevant to assessing the breadth of the recovery.

Investors may also watch whether positive market breadth persists and whether trading activity remains elevated. Sustained advances across large-cap, mid-cap, and broader-market indices would provide stronger evidence of a durable recovery than a single session of gains.

Closing Insights

The October 26 session marked a broad rebound in Israeli equities, with all listed benchmarks advancing and the leading indices recovering from the previous session’s losses. Positive market breadth and stock turnover of approximately NIS 4.93 billion reinforced the scale of the move. Whether the rally develops into a sustained trend will depend on follow-through in subsequent sessions and the continued participation of a broad range of securities.
