Why Middle East closed broadly down
Iran Conflict

Escalating tensions in the Iran conflict heightened regional risk, pressuring Saudi equities.

US Dollar Strength

A stronger US dollar led to foreign fund outflows from emerging markets, impacting Gulf bourses.

Global Risk-Off Sentiment

A broad global equity sell-off prompted investors to reduce exposure to frontier and emerging markets.
