Why Middle East closed mixed
Financial Services Drop

Losses in Financial Services, Media & Publishing, and Insurance sectors pushed Tadawul All Share down 0.20%.

US Dollar Rise

A stronger US dollar caused capital outflows from emerging markets, weakening Gulf equities.

Iran Conflict

Increased tensions in the Iran conflict elevated regional risk premiums, reducing investment in Gulf stocks.
