Index fluctuations The DJIA is an index of ** large companies traded on the New York Stock Exchange. It is one of the numbers that financial analysts watch closely, using it as a bellwether for the United States economy. Seeing when these large gains occur, as well as the largest one-day point losses, gives insight to why these fluctuations may occur. The gains in 2009 are likely adjustments after major losses during the Financial Crisis, but those in 2018 are probably signs of high market volatility. Other leading financial indicators While the DJIA is closely watched, it only gives insight on the performance of thirty leading U.S. companies. An index like the S&P 500, tracking *** companies, can give a more comprehensive overview of the United States economy. Even so, this only reflects investment. Other parts of the economy, such as consumer spending or unemployment rate are not well reflected in stock market indices.

Context

The motive behind collecting this dataset is to provide a historical data for all Saudi stocks, where you can build your own predictive models in the hope of making millions of SARs.

Content

The dataset was collected using Selenium on Python from Tadawul. For some stocks, the website can go back until 2001. The stocks vary in their starting time period but end on March 19, 2020, the day in which the dataset was collected.

Acknowledgements

The dataset was generated to satisfy requirements for General Assembly Data Science Immersive Program.

Inspiration

Few things might be interesting to investigate: 1. How does the Saudi stock market react to international trends? 2. What would be the best time of the year/month to invest? Are there any periodic trends? 3. Who are the top gainers/losers in the past year/decade? 4. Are there any "rising-stars" in terms of trading volume/value?

Limitation

The dataset only gives information about daily trends (opening, closing, change, etc.) Unfortunately, the information about hourly prices cannot be found on Tadawul website.
