Amman Stock Exchange Gains; Egyptian Exchange Slightly Fal

According to TradingEconomics, the general index of the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) recorded a limited rise in trading on December 9, 2025, reaching 3,428 points, up 0.13% from the previous session. Although monthly gains remained at only 0.14%, the market's annual performance continues to shine, with the index achieving a strong leap of 41.29% compared to the same period last year, according to CFD data tracking the Jordan benchmark. This notable annual performance reflects improved investor confidence and greater stability in the business environment and corporate results.

In contrast, the main index of the Egyptian Exchange (EGX30) saw a slight decline of 0.05% in the same session, dropping to 41,941 points. However, this daily decline did not overshadow the broader positive performance of the market, which recorded a monthly increase of about 3.74%, alongside strong annual growth of 36.98% compared to last year, according to data on index-related CFDs. The Egyptian market gains momentum from continuous investment flows and active speculation on leading stocks, in addition to increasing expectations of monetary movements that may support liquidity levels in the upcoming period.

These mixed daily results and closely aligned annual performances indicate that the Middle East and North Africa markets continue to show strong long-term performance, driven by local economic reforms, increased investor participation, and improved expectations regarding fiscal and monetary policies.
