The Saudi stock market closed lower on Wednesday, 14 October 2026, as the Tadawul All Share Index (TASI) slipped 1.74%, losing 179.31 points to finish the session at 10,138.83.
Trading activity reached about SAR 3.9 billion, with roughly 210 million shares changing hands during the day. Declines were widespread, as 252 listed companies ended the session in the red compared with just 15 that advanced.
The parallel market, Nomu, also moved lower, dropping 0.90% to close at 21,832.37.
Top Movers
Watani Iron Steel was the day's standout performer, climbing 9.97% to SAR 3.53. On the losing side, Seera Group Holding led the declines, falling 6.95% to SAR 17.40.
Market swings like these are closely watched by residents and investors across the Kingdom, as the main index reflects the broader mood in Saudi equities. For everyday investors, a session with far more decliners than gainers signals a cautious trading day, though single-day movements are a normal part of market activity and do not necessarily point to a longer trend.
