For the regional markets, the sentiments were mixed during the week with four of the eight indexes closing in green, while the remaining in red. On the positive side, Egypt was the best performer with gains of 4.4%, followed by 1.9% in Bahrain and 1.3% in Abu Dhabi. While Dubai and Kuwait ended in red with losses of 1.0% and 0.7% respectively
Going forward, the trading activity is expected to be driven by movement in global markets coupled with oil prices, which plays an important role for the regional markets. Further, the corporate earnings announcements during the week will also weigh on investor sentiment across the region.
