Gulf stock markets closed mixed after renewed military and diplomatic tensions between the United States and Iran created uncertainty across regional financial markets. Saudi Arabia’s benchmark index slipped 0.2%, while Saudi Aramco rose 1.8% after several sessions of losses. Qatar’s stock market posted modest gains supported by banking shares. Investors remain focused on energy prices, geopolitical developments, and trade route security.
