Kuwait-Mubasher: Kuwait Stock Exchange (KSE) erased its early losses to end Tuesday’s session in the green zone, lifted by buying bets placed on some blue chips.
The price index edged up 0.05% or 2.87 points to settle at 5,375.36 points, while both the weighted and KSX 15 indices fell by 0.13% and 0.21% respectively.
KSE’s liquidity increased to KWD 8.96 million, as trading volume grew 152.63 million shares.
Building positions helped blue chips and medium-sized stocks to rise, despite the volatility in regional markets as well as falling oil prices, said financial analyst Nawaf Al-Ajami.
