The Kuwait Stock Exchange opened its second trading session after the resumption of activity with a modest collective increase across its indices. Despite relatively low liquidity in the opening minutes, investment portfolios, funds, and major shareholders demonstrated clear determination to maintain their positions, signaling confidence following the market’s sharp decline a day earlier. Listed stocks had suffered losses exceeding 1 billion dinars in market value during the previous session, reports Al-Rai daily. At the start of trading, the general index edged up by 10 points, supported by notable stability in the Premier Market, which moved within a positive range of 5 to 10 points. Meanwhile, the Main Market recorded stronger gains, climbing approximately 30 points in early trade.
