Trading is buying and selling financial instruments — shares, currencies and commodities — to profit from price movement. Success rests on understanding markets, managing risk and deciding on the basis of analysis and continuous monitoring.
Prices are set by supply and demand, and are affected by economic and political events and by company results.
The Palestine Exchange is a local market with set trading hours and a limited number of listed companies, and trades are settled in US dollars. Regional and international markets are broader and more liquid, and differ in currency, hours and commission structure — they require a separate global markets account.
Interest rates and central bank decisions, inflation and employment data, energy prices, and geopolitical events. The currency market is open almost around the clock from Monday to Friday, so news reaches prices quickly.
A market order is executed immediately at the best available price; a limit order is executed only at your price or better. It is good practice for every order to carry a stop loss that fixes the maximum loss in advance.
Listed company disclosures and financial statements are published through the Palestine Exchange and the Capital Market Authority, which are the official reference. For your own balances and positions, the account statement issued by the company is the authoritative record.
Prices, ratios and indices for Palestine Exchange companies are in the listed companies matrix, updated after each session closes. Currency, metal and global index prices are followed live on our trading platforms.
The economic calendar helps you follow the events and reports that move markets — interest rates, employment data and inflation — so you can plan your trades around them. See the economic calendar.
