Stock markets across the Gulf region showed mixed performance as investors awaited clarity on potential ceasefire talks and geopolitical developments.

Saudi Arabia’s index declined slightly, while Abu Dhabi saw modest gains and Qatar recorded a strong rise. Dubai’s market faced pressure due to declines in key real estate stocks.

Analysts say investor sentiment remains cautious, with uncertainty surrounding oil supply disruptions and regional security concerns. However, strong sovereign wealth funds and government spending continue to support economic stability.

Markets are expected to remain volatile until clearer geopolitical signals emerge.
