The Saudi stock market wrapped up August 2026 on a slightly softer note, with the Tadawul All Share Index (TASI) closing at 11,159 points on 30 August 2026, down 0.7% on the day. The reading confirms that the market held well above its summer low, staying comfortably in five-figure territory.
During August, TASI traded broadly between roughly 10,800 and 11,260 points, with its strongest close of the month coming in near 11,260 points. In one of the final sessions, on 27 August 2026, the index settled at 11,237.93 points, easing 0.20% for the day before pulling back to close the month.
The August performance marks a clear recovery from July, when TASI fell 1.9% and finished that month at 10,589.7 points — its lowest close since March 2026. From that trough, the market climbed back through August, underlining a steadier tone into the end of summer.
Looking at the bigger picture, TASI is up by a mid-single-digit percentage since the start of 2026, meaning investors who held through the year are still ahead compared with January levels despite the mid-year dip.
Why it matters
For residents and expats in the Kingdom, the index is a simple gauge of how listed Saudi companies — from banks and telecoms to retailers — are performing. A stable market in the 11,000-point range points to steady investor confidence, which matters for anyone with local savings, investment portfolios, or a stake in the broader economy under Saudi Vision 2030.
