DUBAI: Most Gulf bourses ended higher on Sunday, as they reopened after a long Eid break, with the Abu Dhabi index hitting a record high. During holidays in the Gulf, traders typically cash in shares and are generally cautious of any developments in global markets while their bourses are closed.

Saudi Arabia's benchmark index gained 0.8%, with Al Rajhi Bank rising 1.1% and Saudi Arabian Mining Company up more than 5%.

Yanbu National Petrochemicals Company advanced 2.2% after it announced completion of all required maintenance work and resumption of operations at the company's plants.

After trading hours, the petrochemical firm also reported a sharp rise in quarterly net profit.

Dubai's main share index finished 1.1% higher, buoyed by a 3.1% gain in Emirates NBD Bank, ahead of its board meeting on Tuesday to discuss first-half financial statements.

In Abu Dhabi the index added 0.6%, hitting a record high, buoyed by a 0.7% rise in telecoms firm Etisalat , while Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank was up 2.1%.
