Dubai stocks led losses across Gulf markets after U.S. President Trump said his
ceasefire agreement with Iran was over following fresh Iranian attacks on
vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. XTB MENA analyst Milad Azar said sharp falls in
UAE and Qatari equities reflect a repricing of geopolitical risk rather than
changes to economic fundamentals, with rising regional tensions prompting
investors to cut exposure and trigger broad selling of financials and blue
chips. Dubai Financial Market General Index -1.5%; Qatar QE Index -0.8%; Abu
Dhabi ADX -0.6%.
