Tel Aviv Stock Exchange doubles quarterly profit
The switch to Monday-Friday trading and repatriation of investments by the Israeli public significantly boosted activity.
Assessment
The TASE's profit surge signals a structural shift in Israeli capital markets, not just a one-time event. The Monday-Friday alignment with global markets removes a friction that previously deterred foreign participation. Meanwhile, domestic repatriation suggests growing local confidence or a flight from overseas assets. The question is whether these trends are durable or if they will reverse when global conditions change.
