EcoPulse24 Analysis: The strong opening across all indices signals a positive start to the session, driven by blue-chip stocks and active liquidity, particularly in KFH. However, the session’s overall direction will depend on liquidity trends as the year ends, with rebalancing and position closures likely. Sustained momentum requires ongoing active trading in influential Premier Market stocks and broader participation in the Main Market.
