Why Middle East closed broadly up
DFM Catalyst

Gulf-region equities gained as elevated oil prices followed vessel attacks near the Strait of Hormuz, lifting energy-linked sentiment.

Hormuz Mission

Hopes for a NATO-backed maritime security mission in the Gulf reduced geopolitical risk, bolstering regional equities.

Gold Drag

A stronger U.S. dollar weighed on gold, freeing up capital for Gulf markets and adding buying support for equities.
