Why Middle East closed broadly down
DFM-Slit

DFM fell as Gulf equities dropped amid renewed U.S.–Iran missile and drone exchanges, with Iran claiming to have closed the Strait of Hormuz.

Hormuz Escalation

Broader Gulf markets declined following geopolitical tensions and Iran's asserted closure of the Strait, heightening conflict risk.

Dollar Surge

Regional equities were pressured by oil-driven inflation fears and a stronger U.S. dollar amid revived Fed rate‑hike expectations.
