Boursa Kuwait’s positive performance on Monday was largely driven by the newly-announced limited cabinet reshuffle that included the key finance ministry among three others, capital market analyst, Dawoud Abdel Ghani, told Mubasher.       

Similar to the majority of markets, concerns over the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) have spooked investors in the Kuwaiti market. 

Technically, the analyst revealed that the All-Share Index is still moving below the important resistance level of 6,200 points which should be exceeded in a couple of sessions at most.
