Israeli Stock Market Hits Record Highs Following U.S. Strikes on Iranian Nuclear Sites
Tel Aviv : Israel’s stock market surged to record highs on Sunday after the United States launched airstrikes on three nuclear facilities across Iran. The bold move by Washington appeared to boost investor confidence that Iran’s nuclear ambitions would be curtailed, leading to a strong rally in Israeli equities.
The Tel Aviv 125 Index climbed 1.8% at close, extending its weekly gains to nearly 8%. Meanwhile, the Tel Aviv 35 Index, comprising Israel’s largest companies, rose by 1.5%.
Despite heightened tensions and Israel’s own military action against Iranian targets earlier in the week, the local market has remained resilient. Analysts suggest that investors are interpreting the coordinated strikes as a strategic move that could stabilize the region in the long term by neutralizing potential threats.
“Markets are reacting positively to what they see as a decisive intervention that may reduce long-term geopolitical risks,” said a senior Tel Aviv-based market analyst.
With continued foreign support and confidence in Israel’s economic resilience, the stock market appears unfazed by the recent escalation, signaling strong investor sentiment.
