Geopolitical tensions and low oil prices are continuing to weigh on the Saudi stock market, which has seen losses for two consecutive sessions. King Salman was reported to have entered a hospital in Jeddah for routine examinations. In the UAE, stocks closed the mid-week session relatively stable, with Dubai market up slightly and Abu Dhabi down. Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Muscat all experienced various degrees of decline or growth in their stock markets.
On Wednesday, most stock markets in the Gulf region experienced declines due to escalating Israeli bombing in Gaza and new evacuation orders in the northern Strip. The Saudi stock market lost 1.03% with ACWA Power and Saudi National Bank shares taking a hit. The economy is expected to grow slower than anticipated this year, impacted by lower oil prices. Despite signing a financial support package with the IMF, Egypt’s growth is expected to be slower this year with an anticipated acceleration next year.
