Oil prices - a key catalyst for Gulf’s financial markets - drifted lower on Friday with Brent crude easing 0.74% to $80.76 a barrel by 1032 GMT.

Data on Thursday showed U.S. jobless claims dropped while S&P Global’s Flash PMI survey showed business activity expanded faster than economists forecast in May.

Most Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, including the United Arab Emirates, have their currencies pegged to the U.S. dollar and they generally follow the Fed’s policy moves.
