Mideast Stocks: Major Gulf markets gain on progress in US-China trade talks

Major stock markets in the Gulf rose in early trade on Wednesday in line with Asian shares, on signs of progress in trade talks between the U.S. and China. Top officials of both the countries said on Tuesday they had agreed on a framework to get their trade truce back on track and remove China's export restrictions on rare earths. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 0.5%. Saudi Arabia's benchmark index - which traded after a four session break - advanced 1.2%, led by a 1.7% rise in Al Rajhi Bank and a 1.6% increase in oil giant Saudi Aramco. The kingdom's crude oil supply to China is set to dip slightly in July, Reuters reported on Tuesday, citing trade sources, but still strong for a third straight month as the OPEC kingpin regains its market share supplying the world's top crude importer. Dubai's main share index added 0.1%, helped by a 1.1% rise in blue-chip developer Emaar Properties. In Abu Dhabi, the index inched 0.1% higher, with ADNOC Gas climbing 1.2%. ADNOC Gas said on Tuesday it had taken a final investment decision on the first phase of its Rich Gas Development (RGD) Project, awarding $5 billion in contracts to expand and improve efficiency at the project. Elsewhere, chemicals maker Borouge gained 0.6% after awarding a $531 million contract to ADNOC Logistics & Services for streamlining maritime deliveries. Separately, the rush of financial firms setting up in Abu Dhabi to tap the oil-rich emirate's wealth funds and Middle East markets will continue at pace, the official in charge of expanding its financial hub has predicted. The Qatari index rose 0.4%, led by a 0.4% increase in the Gulf's biggest lender Qatar National Bank.

The Ministry of Investment for Saudi Arabia shows support for new health and fitness event

In a strategic partnership with the Ministry of Investment and its Sport Sector Team, an investment agreement was signed with RX Arabia to support the successful launch of FIBO Arabia in the Kingdom. The initiative reinforces Saudi Arabia's position as a leading regional hub for international sports exhibitions and events. Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: The Ministry of Investment for Saudi Arabia and its Sport Sector Team have signed an investment agreement with RX Arabia to support the successful launch of FIBO Arabia in the Kingdom, which will debut at the Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Center from 1-3 October 2025. The sports and fitness industry in Saudi Arabia continues to gain considerable momentum. Organised by RX, a global leader in events and exhibitions, and under the theme for a strong and healthy society, FIBO Arabia is already 60% sold out following a successful sales launch at FIBO's flagship tradeshow in Cologne, Germany last month. There, 1,200 exhibitors and partners from 60 nations and 154,748 visitors from 129 countries were welcomed. The launch of FIBO Arabia coincides with the Saudi government's significant support for investing in the country's sports sector as part of the Kingdom's 2030 strategy to diversify its economy. The government aims to increase sports spending by US$22 billion by 2030, encompassing sports clubs, academies, sportswear and equipment, and sports facilities. Vasyl Zhygalo, Managing Director, Middle East and Emerging Markets, RX: 'We are honoured that the Ministry of Investment for Saudi Arabia is supporting the launch of FIBO Arabia. This underscores the importance of health and fitness to the Saudi Arabian government and highlights its investment-friendly attitude towards overseas entrepreneurs and progressive companies that want to invest in their health and fitness sector.' The country's focus on becoming a global sports hub is underscored by the announcement of major events to take place in Saudi Arabia, including the 2034 FIFA World Cup, the 2027 AFC Asian Cup, and the 2029 Asian Winter Games, which will provide a significant boost to its position as a global sports hub. Furthermore, according to Gymnation, which operates a chain of fitness centres in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, the Saudi fitness market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7% between now and 2032 when the health and fitness market is projected to be worth US$2.28 billion. The growth in the market is largely attributed to government initiatives aimed at enhancing the population's quality of life and promoting physical activity, as well as a rise in health consciousness among the population. Basim K. Ibrahim, Sport Sector Investment Development Director, Ministry of Investment for Saudi Arabia, added: 'FIBO Arabia represents a pivotal platform in advancing Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 goals by promoting a culture of fitness and wellness while also highlighting the Kingdom's growing potential as a hub for investment within this sector. With increasing emphasis on exercise, sports, and wellbeing across the Kingdom, the event provides a vital opportunity for international and local brands to showcase the latest innovations and technologies in the industry.

Saudi's Bahri begins commercial operations at 3 floating desalination barges

The National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia (Bahri) has started commercial operations at its three floating desalination barges project. The prolonged extreme weather conditions in the Red Sea in the latter part of 2024 led to delays in transporting and mooring the third barge at its permanent location before starting up operations, the company said in a statement to the Saudi Stock Exchange. The full financial impact of the project will be reflected in its results starting the second quarter of 2025, the statement added. In December 2019, Bahri signed a 20-year agreement, valued at 760 million Saudi riyals ($202.60 million), with state-owned Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC) to supply desalinated water from its floating stations to the authority's desalination tanks. Each station will have a capacity of 50,000 cubic meters per day (m3/day) with a total capacity of 150,000 m3/day. The project was expected to start in the fourth quarter of 2020, the company disclosed in its 2019 press release. In December 2023, Bahri announced that the barges are undergoing testing and commissioning, with commercial operation expected to commence during the second half of 2024. (Editing by Anoop Menon) (
