Mideast Stocks: Gulf bourses mixed on weaker corporate earnings, Fed rate cut hopes
Gulf equities closed mixed on Wednesday, with Dubai and Abu Dhabi stock markets falling, as a raft of corporate earnings weighed, while Qatar hit over two-year high after U.S. inflation data fueled bets for a September interest rate cut. A mild July CPI report from the U.S. suggested a limited impact of tariffs on prices, reinforcing bets for the Federal Reserve rate cut in September. Monetary policy shifts in the U.S. have a significant impact on Gulf markets, where most currencies are pegged to the dollar. The Qatari benchmark index jumped 1.9% to 11,635 and hit its highest level since December 2022, with almost all of its constituents posting gains. Qatar National Bank, the region's largest lender, advanced 2.9% and Qatar Islamic Bank climbed 3.8%. "Stocks were buoyed by the positive sentiment globally as investors focused on a softer monetary policy in the U.S.," said Milad Azar, market analyst at XTB MENA. Saudi Arabia's benchmark stock index eased 0.1%, dragged down by losses in real estate, consumer staples, health care and energy shares. Al Rajhi Bank shed 0.9% and Al Nahdi Medical slid 4.8%. Atheeb Telecom advanced 3.7%, after the telecom services provider said on Tuesday it was awarded a project by the Ministry of National Guard. The Abu Dhabi benchmark index fell for a sixth day, ending 0.1% lower. Abu Dhabi Ports dropped 3.2%, after the port operator's second-quarter profit declined 4% year-on-year, below market expectations. Alpha Data slipped 2.2%, as the technology services firm posted a 4.9% drop in second-quarter net profit. Dubai's benchmark stock index slipped 0.4%, pressured by losses in real estate, industry, utilities and finance. Tolls operator Salik dropped 1.9% and blue-chip developer Emaar Properties lost 1.7%. Amlak Finance closed as the worst performer on the index, dropping 3.7%, after the real estate financier posted a second-quarter net loss on Tuesday. Outside the Gulf, Egypt's blue-chip index was down 0.4%, pressured by a 6.2% drop in Qalaa Holdings and a 3.1% loss in Madinet Masr. Developer MASR posted an 11.9% decrease in half-year net profit on Tuesday. SAUDI ARABIA down 0.1% to 10,763 KUWAIT up 0.7% to 9,346 QATAR rose 1.9% to 11,635 EGYPT down 0.4% to 35,856 BAHRAIN added 0.5% to 1,949 OMAN up 0.1% to 4,900 ABU DHABI down 0.1% to 10,283 DUBAI dropped 0.4% to 6,091 (Reporting by Md Manzer Hussain; Editing by Shilpi Majumdar)

The growth is in large part due to the increased adoption of technologies to help streamline processes across property development, management, transactions and investments while also helping to reduce the overall cost.

These technologies enhance design accuracy, streamline collaboration, and reduce errors, making them ideal for the country's fast-paced, high-value developments.
