The Arab Monetary Fund released the sixty-first edition of its Arab Capital Markets Monthly Bulletin, reporting that Arab capital markets ended October 2025 with a second consecutive month of positive performance, supported by stronger quarterly results for listed companies, particularly banks. The AMF Composite Index rose 1.20% over the month, with gains in eleven exchanges and declines in three. Amman led (+9.39%) followed by Muscat (+8.27%), while Bahrain, Palestine, Egypt and Dubai rose between 5.89% and 3.76%; Iraq and Damascus recorded the largest declines. The bulletin also notes broadly positive global market conditions, including increases in major advanced-market indices and gains across MSCI Emerging Markets regions, alongside the U.S. Federal Reserve’s second interest rate cut of 2025 and similar moves in several Arab countries, easing signals in U.S.–China trade discussions, and resilient non-oil sector performance despite lower oil prices.
