Why Middle East closed broadly down
U.S.–Iran tensions

Dubai equities declined due to renewed hostilities and a U.S. naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.

Saudi profit-taking

Traders booked gains in major sectors after recent peaks, causing Tadawul to retreat.

Regional escalation

Gulf markets fell as deeper U.S.–Iran conflict increased geopolitical risks across the region.
