Israel (Tel Aviv Stock Exchange – TASE): Despite rising tensions between Israel and Iran, the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange has continued operations. Investors panicked at the start of the war, causing the benchmark index TA-35 to tumble from around 2.5% to 4%. However, the market is currently trying to recover due to a rally in defense sector stocks and active intervention by the central bank, but uncertainty still remains.

Lebanon (Beirut Stock Exchange – BSE): According to media reports, the economic structure of Lebanon has been severely weakened in this war. The Beirut Stock Exchange is open but trading volume is negligible. The market index saw a 1.5% to 3% decline as investor confidence in banking and construction stocks faltered.
Palestine (Palestine Exchange – PEX): Apart from this, the operation of Palestine Exchange is also almost suspended.

Syria (Damascus Securities Exchange – DSE): Amid years of internal conflict in Syria, the impact of the Iran-Israel war is now being seen.

Iraq (Iraq Stock Exchange – ISX): Iraq's stock market is also in turmoil due to the activities of Iran-backed groups. The stock exchange in Baghdad remains open but investors remain cautious over fears of an impact on oil exports.

Yemen (No Official Exchange): Due to the ongoing conflict and rebel activities in Yemen for the past several years, the financial structure of the country has collapsed. There is currently no official stock exchange operating here, so trading is closed. The country's economy is dependent on foreign aid and limited trade.
Saudi Arabia (Saudi Exchange): One of the largest stock markets in the world, the Saudi Exchange is currently facing extreme volatility.
