Egyptian Exchange Opens October With EGP 129 Billion Gain

The Egyptian Exchange ended Thursday’s trading session, the first of October, with gains across its indices as buying by Egyptian investors lifted the market.

Market capitalisation rose by EGP 129 billion, while the benchmark index advanced 2.24% at the close.

Egyptian investors were net buyers during the session, driving the upward move in share prices.

Arab and foreign investors, by contrast, leaned toward selling. Their activity did not prevent the exchange from closing its opening session of the month in positive territory.
