Doha: The Qatar Stock Exchange (QSE) index closed the current week up 1.920 percent, adding 206.820 points to its tally, to stand at 10,969 points compared to last week's closing.
According to Qatar News Agency, data issued by the QSE indicated that the real estate sector achieved the highest gains at 3.28 percent, followed by the financial sector at 2.48 percent, while the average liquidity reached QR 402 million.
In this context, financial market analyst Youssef Buhulaiqa noted that the QSE index displayed a positive trend at the beginning of 2026. He highlighted that the general trend is approaching the 11,000-point levels, supported by technical rebounds aimed at attracting new liquidity from both local funds and market makers.
The financial market analyst considered these movements to be part of a well-known market pattern, focusing on redistributing liquidity and building gradual positions according to carefully considered price levels. He observed that this period of the year often witnesses some fluctuation, where liquidity is rotated, and some positions are temporarily exited, in preparation for repositioning at more attractive levels. This behavior, according to Buhulaiqa, does not reflect market weakness but rather professional liquidity management, aimed at creating a solid price base before any new surge.
Buhulaiqa further stated that in general, the overall picture remains positive, as the importance of reading the movement of liquidity and its timing increases. He emphasized that the current fluctuation might be part of a healthy cycle that sets the stage for a clearer and more sustainable movement in the coming period.
He pointed out that with the start of the first month of 2026, investors are encountering a stage with its unique characteristics, especially with the return of liquidity and the increase in turnover rates.
