RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s benchmark TASI index ended at 12,291 last week, amid a flurry of earnings reports and falling oil prices.
Indices in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar fell as a drop in oil prices dragged stocks lower, but other Gulf peers posted small gains.
Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Qatar lost 0.3, 0.5 and 0.1% respectively, while Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman rose between 0.1% and 0.2%.
Elsewhere in the Middle East, Egypt’s blue chip EGX30 index gained as much as 5.3%.
Oil prices came out the previous week at their lowest level since February, with Brent crude at $94.92 a barrel and US West Texas Intermediate at $89.01 a barrel.
