Dubai’s main share index added 0.2%, helped by a 0.8% increase in top lender Emirates NBD on strong quarterly earnings.

In Abu Dhabi, the index advanced 1%, buoyed by a 4.7% jump in Multiply Group ahead of its earnings.

Saudi Arabia’s benchmark index dropped 0.4%, dragged by a 1.4% fall in Retal Urban Development Co and a 4.1% slide in Saudi National Bank (SNB).

Meanwhile, oil giant Saudi Aramco gained 0.9%.
