TASI Falls 2.65 Percent to 9438.50 Points Amid Regional Tensions as Index Hits Lowest Close Since 2021
What happened
The Saudi Tadawul All Share Index dropped 257.36 points to close at 9438.50 on October 25, 2026, marking its lowest close since 2021.
The Context
* Selling was widespread across constituents, with 257 declining equities overwhelming just nine gainers on daily trading volume of 4.3 billion riyals across 339 million shares. * The slide caps an eight-week drawdown, extending TASI's longest weekly losing streak since 1994 as traders price in heightened friction surrounding maritime routes and regional energy supply chains. * Regional sentiment fragmented quickly, prompting correlated downward pressure on equities in Egypt, Bahrain, and select UAE asset portfolios while Qatar and Kuwait closed higher.
The Number
—the index's steepest single-session drop in 18 months, which breached the psychological 9500 threshold and signaled an immediate intraday retreat of up to 3.4% before closing down 2.65%.
Takeaway
Expect regional portfolio managers to rotate toward defensive holdings until oil price volatility stabilizes and cross-border trade route security clarifies.
