The index continued to rise until the end of the trading day, closing at 68,416.78 points, having gained 660.75 points overall.

The index will open today at Thursday’s closing in the hopes of making more gains based on the central bank’s loose monetary policy and the impending pickup in activity due to the end of Ramadan and the return to regular working hours.

Analysts attributed the index’s higher increase during the previous week to encouraging economic indicators.

The outlook for investors is also expected to improve further, as the United Nations Economic and Social Survey of Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) 2024 predicts a stronger economic recovery.
