Investors were closely watching the performance of key stocks in the index, particularly those in the banking, industrial, and services sectors. While there were no major fluctuations, the market’s performance was seen as a reflection of the prevailing economic conditions in Oman and the wider region. The global economic landscape remains a key factor influencing investor behavior.
Looking ahead, analysts suggest that the MSX 30 index might see more stability in the short term, barring any significant external factors.
