Jerusalem, 5 January, 2026 (TPS-IL) — The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange on Monday began following a Monday-to-Friday trading week, aiming to sync with global markets and draw international investors. Friday sessions will close at 2 p.m. before the Sabbath, replacing the former Sunday-to-Thursday schedule.
TASE says the change increases overlap with Wall Street and European markets, giving Israeli investors more opportunity to respond promptly to major global market developments and announcements, while maintaining local observance of the Jewish Sabbath.
