Market Overview
Tuesday's ADX session was activity-driven, and the activity on the fund board sat in international exposures. USGRWTH, the Lunate S&P US Shariah Growth ETF, led the board by value at AED 181.5k on 2.22 times its seven-day average volume, while GRMNY, the Lunate S&P Germany UCITS ETF, and CHHK, the Lunate S&P China HK Shariah ETF, each traded at several times normal volume. The board as a whole traded AED 696.2k across 16 of the 24 listed ETFs.
The prices did not follow the volumes in one direction. Of the 16 ETFs measured against the preceding session, 8 closed lower, 6 closed higher and 2 closed unchanged, and both GRMNY and CHHK ended lower despite the elevated trading. On the equity side the tone was firmer, with 34 of 68 measured names higher against 21 lower, but the value was heavily concentrated: 2POINTZERO, Two Point Zero Group PJSC, alone accounted for AED 210.42m of the board's AED 1.08bn.
ETFs
USGRWTH set the pace by value, edging 0.11% higher on the day against its 2026-09-07 close and extending a 1.12% weekly gain from its 2026-09-01 base. Even so, it carries AED 37.5k of net weekly selling pressure, a small counterweight to the day's turnover leadership.
GRMNY was the board's most striking divergence. It traded AED 142.7k on 28,820 shares, 5.18 times its seven-day average volume, ranking 2nd by value, yet closed 2.17% lower on the day. The heavy two-way trade left it with AED 81.1k of net weekly buying pressure, the paradox of a falling price meeting executions skewed to the ask. CHHK told a more consistent story: 6.70 times its average volume, a 0.76% one-day decline, a 3.70% weekly fall from its 2026-09-01 base and AED 123.7k of net weekly selling pressure.
QUANTM, the Boreas Solactive Quantum Computing UCITS ETF, ranked 4th at AED 85.7k and rose 0.44% on the day, though it carries the board's heaviest net weekly selling pressure at AED 311.4k. UAED, the Lunate S&P UAE UCITS ETF, was the board's best one-day performer at +0.69%, on a modest AED 7.5k, with UAEA, the Lunate S&P UAE Shariah ETF, close behind at +0.57% and carrying AED 87.0k of net weekly buying pressure.
Among the thinner prints, USVALUE, the Lunate S&P US Shariah Value ETF, was the busiest name relative to its own seven-day average at 24.98 times, though on just 12,000 shares (AED 62.0k), a wake-up in a normally dormant fund rather than a session driver. SAUDIA, the Lunate S&P KSA Shariah ETF, was the worst one-day performer at -2.37%, on only AED 257. And JPANI, the Lunate S&P Japan UCITS ETF, whose 2.92% gain led Monday's fund board, went almost silent, trading 11 shares (AED 65), 0.001 times its average, while still carrying AED 259.2k of net weekly selling pressure.
Equities
Equity strength was concentrated. 2POINTZERO, Two Point Zero Group PJSC, closed 5.66% higher on the day on AED 210.42m, 10.19 times its seven-day average volume, and is up 8.21% over the week from its 2026-09-01 base with AED 51.59m of net weekly buying pressure. ADPORTS, Abu Dhabi Ports Company PJSC, added 1.98% on AED 88.81m and 1.94 times its average volume, and EAND, Emirates Telecommunications Group Company (Etisalat Group) PJSC, rose 2.26% on AED 68.62m. ADNH was the board's best one-day performer at +6.41%.
The weak spots sat just behind them. ALPHADHABI, Alpha Dhabi Holding PJSC, the third-largest name by value at AED 80.74m, closed 0.93% lower and carries AED 35.58m of net weekly selling pressure. BILDCO, Abu Dhabi National Co. for Building Materials, gave back 2.26% on the day after the sharp run that had it up 17.19% over the week from its 2026-09-01 base, cooling the move flagged in Monday's wrap. ESG was the board's worst one-day performer at -3.34%.
Elsewhere, ARAM was the busiest equity relative to its own seven-day average at 189.70 times, on 5,508,682 shares (AED 21.98m). FAB, First Abu Dhabi Bank, rose only 0.41% on light volume, 0.333 times its average, yet carries AED 62.88m of net weekly buying pressure, the largest such figure among the names listed. Whether 2POINTZERO holds its 8.21% weekly advance from the 2026-09-01 base is the most concrete thing to track into Wednesday.
