Major Gulf stock markets declined on Monday as investors continued assessing the impact of recent U.S.-Iran tensions and uncertainty surrounding the durability of the regional peace agreement. Saudi Arabia’s benchmark index fell 1.1%, while both Dubai and Abu Dhabi indices dropped 0.4%. Banking, energy, and real estate shares were among the biggest decliners.
