Why Middle East closed broadly down
DFM Circuit

Dubai’s market declined after the DFM imposed a 5% lower price limit on multiple stocks, triggering cascading selling pressure that dragged the index lower.

Iran Uncertainty

Gulf equities slid as persistent doubts over the durability of the fragile U.S.–Iran accord raised geopolitical risk in the region.

Rate Fears

Expectations of higher U.S. interest rates pressured Gulf markets, amplifying foreign capital outflows from rate‑pegged economies.
