The Saudi main stock index closed lower on Sunday, 13 September 2026, ending the session at around 10,864 points, a drop of roughly 1.3% — about 143 points — from the previous close. The retreat marked the index's lowest close in about a month.
Trading was broadly negative across the market. Only about 42 stocks advanced while roughly 221 declined, reflecting widespread weakness. Total trading value reached around SAR 3.8 billion. During the session, the index touched an intraday high of about 10,958 points and an intraday low of around 10,860 points.
The parallel NOMU market also slipped, falling about 0.3% to close near 21,579 points. Transactions on the parallel market totalled roughly SAR 8.9 million, with about 1.8 million shares changing hands.
Why it matters
The main index is the benchmark for the Saudi Exchange (Tadawul) and is calculated using free-float market-capitalization weighting, covering all listed companies on the main market — more than 200 firms. For residents and investors following the market, a broad-based decline like this signals a cautious trading mood rather than a move driven by a single sector.
No changes to trading fees, taxes, or commissions were reported for this session. Standard Saudi Exchange trading commissions remain in effect, and equity trades continue to settle on the usual T+2 cycle.
