Market Overview
Monday's session on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange was an active, broadly positive one, and the ETF board's story was domestic. UAEA, the Lunate S&P UAE Shariah ETF, topped the board by value at AED 477.9k, closed 1.69% higher against its 2026-11-06 close on 2.96 times its seven-day average volume, and carries the board's heaviest net weekly buying pressure at AED 551.4k. That read matched the equity side, where exchange-wide turnover of AED 1.48bn was 37.5% higher than the previous session and 42 of the 71 equities measured against the immediately preceding session closed higher, against 21 lower and 8 unchanged, with 1 further name excluded for a stale prior close.
The counterpoint sits in the order book. Exchange-wide, AED 102.63m more value crossed at the bid than at the ask, so the day's rising closes came alongside more value executing on the sell side of the spread. On the ETF board itself breadth was flatter than the equity board's: of the 15 ETFs measured against the immediately preceding session, 4 closed lower, 5 closed higher and 6 closed unchanged, with 5 further traded ETFs excluded because their most recent prior close is 4 to 12 calendar days back.
ETFs
UAEA's session is the board's centre of gravity. Its AED 477.9k accounted for the largest share of the board's AED 1.17m total, its 1.69% daily gain came on nearly three times normal volume, and it is up 4.05% over the week from its 2026-11-02 base. Behind it on the weekly net buying pressure ranking sit USGRWTH, the Lunate S&P US Shariah Growth ETF, at AED 192.0k and UAED, the Lunate S&P UAE UCITS ETF, at AED 171.5k; UAED also rose 0.34% on the day and is up 4.19% over the week, putting both UAE trackers higher on both horizons.
USGRWTH, second by value at AED 352.9k, closed unchanged on the day on 3.03 times its seven-day average volume and is down 3.15% over the week, a divergence between heavy trade and a flat price that fits the broader indecision around US technology exposure, with Citi telling investors to stand aside from the global tech trade until positioning cleans up.
QUANTM, the Boreas Solactive Quantum Computing UCITS ETF Share Class B Distributing, was the best one-day performer on the ETF board at +4.12% on 65,396 shares (AED 114.0k), reversing part of the 7.61% fall that led Friday's Market Wrap, as Asian equities rebounded from last week's AI rout. It remains down 5.35% over the week. CHHK, the Lunate S&P China HK Shariah ETF, bucked the firmer tone, closing 1.06% lower, though it is still up 5.67% over the week from its 2026-11-02 base.
On the other side of the ledger, JPANI carries the board's heaviest net weekly selling pressure at AED 73.2k, followed by USVALUE, the Lunate S&P US Shariah Value ETF, at AED 39.4k and CHADX15, the Lunate FTSE ADX 15 ETF, at AED 37.6k. JPANI nonetheless rose 1.94% on the day, on just 0.120 times its average volume. A notable mention: BONDAE, the Lunate JP Morgan UAE Bond UCITS ETF, normally near dormant, traded 90.04 times its seven-day average volume, though on just 10,246 shares (AED 36.1k), and has no one-day move as its most recent prior close is 2026-11-04.
Equities
The equity board traded AED 1.48bn in total, with strength spread across its largest names. ADNOCGAS, ADNOC GAS PLC, led by value at AED 357.29m, closing 4.01% higher on 1.83 times its seven-day average volume. ALDAR, Al Dar Properties, added 2.52% on AED 172.99m and FAB, First Abu Dhabi Bank, rose 2.29% on AED 114.00m. ADNOCDIST, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company For Distribution, gained 3.16% on 2.40 times average volume, and FERTIGLB, Fertiglobe plc, rose 4.57% on 3.56 times its average. ASM, Al Seer Marine Supplies & Equipment Company P.J.S.C, was the board's best one-day performer at +14.75% on AED 13.63m, 7.81 times its seven-day average volume.
The weak spot is the week's net pressure picture. IHC, International Holding Company PJSC, carries the heaviest net weekly selling pressure on the equity board at AED 144.95m and closed unchanged on the day, down 5.88% over the week from its 2026-11-02 base. Behind it sit ADNOCDRILL, ADNOC Drilling Company PJSC, at AED 59.18m and ADNOCGAS at AED 45.94m, meaning the day's most-traded name rallied against a week of net selling pressure. On the buy side, ADCB, Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank, carries the heaviest net weekly buying pressure at AED 78.99m, followed by ADIB, Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, at AED 72.29m and BURJEEL, BURJEEL HOLDINGS PLC, at AED 21.78m; ADIB is up 7.86% over the week from its 2026-11-02 base, and ADIBRI26, the ADIB Rights Issue 2026, closed 8.70% higher on AED 6.25m. DANA, DANA GAS PJSC, fell 2.53% on 6.33 times its average volume, one of the few declines among the day's heavily traded names.
