Price index of Kuwait Stock Exchange (KSE) closed with limited rise upon end of the past week sessions, in shadow of noticeable trades and speculations targeting small stocks. Bayan Investment Company said in a report released on Saturday the KSE weighted index posted marginal losses as a result of sell-offs' pressure on bluechips.

However, the market remained gripped with an atmosphere of anticipation among the investors, adopting a wait-and-see attitude for forecast financial disclosures of the listed companies. KSE capital value fell 0.12 percent to KD 28.07 billion.
