Starting today, the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange shifts its trading days to a Monday-to-Friday week to align with global standards and markets and lure international investors to the local bourse.
Trading on Friday will end at 2 p.m., ahead of the start of Shabbat — the Jewish sabbath – when most Israeli businesses close. Previously, the local stock exchange operated Sunday-Thursday and was closed on Friday.
The alignment of local to overlap more with the trading week and hours on Wall Street and European bourses will allow local investors more flexibility in responding to material market announcements abroad, according to the TASE.
