Egypt appears to be one of the least impacted markets by the Trump-era tariff-driven <\/strong>global volatility amongst its regional peers<\/strong>, with the EGX30 up 4.9% YTD. That\u2019s in sharp contrast to regional peers, with Saudi Arabia\u2019s down Tadawul -3.7% over 2025, the DFM at -2.0%, and the ADX in the red at -1.9%.<\/p>\n

The EGX30 is also faring a whole let better than some of the markets that wrapped up <\/strong>2024 with record gains<\/strong>, including the S&P 500, which is now down -8.1% YTD. Even BTC, which closed out 2024 with a staggering 121.3% YTD gain, is being left in the dust by the EGX30 this time round, with the cryptocurrency having fallen 9.5% since January.<\/p>\n

While that\u2019s undoubtedly positive for the EGX, the comparison between the EGX and <\/strong>GCC indexes doesn\u2019t paint the full picture. <\/strong>The divergence has more to do with structural differences than market outperformance in the traditional sense. As we explain below, the unique mechanics of the EGX helped it emerge a winner by virtue of its structure, not necessarily market fundamentals.<\/p>\n

The EGX\u2019s relative resilience is largely a function of its investor base. <\/strong>Trading activity remains dominated by local, retail investors \u2014 for example, 80.9% of trading activity was done by retail investors and 90.5% by local investors during trading yesterday. These investors tend to be more reactive to local cues and sentiment-driven triggers, such as the recent reaffirmation of Egypt\u2019s commitment to a flexible FX regime<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This means that any sell-off is less likely to spiral<\/strong>, because retail traders account for the lion\u2019s share of turnover in Egypt, 3 Way Securities Chair Rania Jacoub told us last week<\/a>. Retail investors tend to be more speculative, and this behavior could underpin a near-term correction rather than a sustained downturn.<\/p>\n

In contrast, regional peers like the Tadawul and UAE markets are more exposed to <\/strong>global investor flows.<\/strong> Foreign investors were net sellers<\/a> on the Tadawul last week, offloading SAR 2.2 bn worth of equities, while local investors bought SAR 2.3 bn. Non-Arab foreigners accounted for 44.5% of turnover on the ADX and 40.9% on the DFM last week.<\/p>\n

The EGX\u2019s relatively low liquidity and smaller size also mean it responds more sharply <\/strong>to modest inflows<\/strong> \u2014 especially when there\u2019s a local policy trigger. Case in point: Tadawul closed yesterday with a turnover of SAR 6.5 bn \u2014 23x the EGX\u2019s 90-day average.<\/p>\n

Crude overhang is also weighing on Gulf markets<\/strong>, as weakness in crude continues to pressure sentiment and the earnings outlook for Gulf corporates, especially state-linked and large-cap names. This pressure is reflected in YTD performances of important market constituents, including Aramco \u2014 the Tadawul\u2019s heavyweight \u2014 which is down -7.5%, the DFM-listed DEWA in the red -10.3%, and Abu Dhabi\u2019s Taqa at -2.2%.<\/p>\n

MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p>\n

Asian markets are mixed this morning <\/strong>following a tech rally in US markets, with Japan\u2019s Nikkei up 1%, and Hang Seng (Hong Kong) virtually unchanged, while Shanghai Composite is inching down 0.4%. Meanwhile, Wall Street futures are pointing to marginal losses when markets open.<\/p>\n
