Markets

Domestic banks and energy assets are buffering Tel Aviv shares against global tech corrections — proving Israel's local defenses can isolate the exchange from broader market panic.

BackgroundThe Tel Aviv Stock Exchange represents the primary equity market for Israel's largest domestic corporations. Global markets experienced a sharp downturn as investors trimmed exposure to major semiconductor and artificial intelligence hardware firms.

Points
  1. The US dollar surged 1.50% against the shekel to a representative rate of ₪3.0500, reversing a brief mid-week rally as global risk aversion increased.
  2. Mizrahi Tefahot and Israel Discount Bank added over 1.4% to cushion the broader market's descent, proving that local banking resilience remains a vital defense against global volatility.
  3. Energy shares like Newmed Energy rose 2.82% as rising regional tensions drove up global oil prices, boosting local energy assets amid broader market anxiety.
