Gulf stock markets gave a mixed picture on July 29: Saudi Arabia’s index slid 0.6% due to weaker Q2 earnings (notably Arabian Drilling, Arabian Pipes, Jamjoom); Abu Dhabi dipped 0.2% despite record order backlog at Aldar; while Dubai’s index rose 0.2% to a 17½‑year high, buoyed by strong results from Dubai Taxi Co and Salik. Qatar slid 0.6% amid profit-taking.
