Traded value on Tadawul unaffected by new tick size

18/10/2017 Argaam Special

 

The Saudi Stock Exchange’s (Tadawul) decision to amend the securities tick sizes (price change units) has neither impacted trading value nor the number of transactions for the period from June 4 to July 31, 2017, a study by Argaam showed.

 

The market resilience is attributed to seasonal factors, particularly the holy month of Ramadan, along with other key events during the same period.  

 

The new tick size scale, under which values of current tick sizes would be reduced and more price bands will be added, came into effect on June 4.

 

The new scales are applied to all securities listed on Tadawul and the Nomu Parallel Market, as well as Real Estate Investment Traded Funds (REITs), exchange traded funds (ETFs) and tradable rights.
