Saudi Arabia's main stock index, the Tadawul All Share Index (TASI) operated by Saudi Exchange in Riyadh, closed higher on 19 August 2026, ending the session around the 10,925 level.
The index finished at 10,925.69 points, adding 14.11 points, or about 0.13%, compared with the previous close. Total trading value for the session reached roughly SAR 3.7 billion, with more than 120 listed companies rising and around 130 declining.
At this level, the total market capitalization of the Saudi market stood in the range of about SAR 9.5 to 9.6 trillion. Turnover during mid-August 2026 has generally moved between about SAR 3.4 billion and SAR 5.2 billion with daily index changes staying modest, roughly between +0.03% and +0.9% on different days.
Among large-cap shares, Saudi Aramco recently traded around SAR 26.5 to 27 while Al Rajhi Bank changed hands near SAR 64 to 65, at times when TASI hovered close to the 10,900 to 10,950 range.
Why it matters
For residents and investors following the market, the modest close reflects a relatively steady trading environment. The Main Market operates Sunday to Thursday, using an opening auction, a continuous trading session, and a closing auction that sets the official closing prices and the official TASI level.
