EcoPulse24 Analysis:
The DFM's positive movement reflects continued buying momentum in major real estate stocks, now the main driver of the index. Liquidity exceeding AED 580 million signals improved investor sentiment, though it remains moderate compared to previous peaks. A wider base of advancing stocks supports the short-term upward trend, but sustaining this momentum will depend on blue-chip performance, especially amid selective moves in banking. The market is currently trading in an upward range, led by heavyweights, with liquidity levels key to confirming the trend in upcoming sessions.
