High oil prices on Wednesday lifted petrochemical shares in the Tadawul
Dubai - Arab Today

Rising oil prices boosted petrochemical shares in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday, which helped lift the Tadawul All Share Index (TASI) 0.9 percent higher.
Yanbu National Petrochemical jumped 3.5 percent. Shares of electronics retailer United Electronics, the first company to report first quarter results, jumped 7.4 percent after the company swung to a net profit of SR12.9 million ($3.44 million).
The company estimated total sales for the first quarter to have increased 8.3 percent to SR805 million compared to the same period last year.
Other stock markets in the Middle East also firmed with Abu Dhabi outperforming its peers for a second day as institutional investors targeted blue chips.
Abu Dhabi’s index climbed 2 percent on the back of a 4.1 percent jump in shares of newly merged lender First Abu Dhabi Bank. It has now soared by 10.7 percent since Sunday when the National Bank of Abu Dhabi (NBAD) and First Gulf Bank (FGB) tie up became official.
Farid Samji, head of asset management at Dubai-based Daman Investment, attributed the exceptionally high volumes to the inflow from the change of weighting in the emerging market indexes, including the MSCI Emerging Market Index and the FTSE secondary emerging market index.
“But that alone does not explain the spike in turnover, the other factor is that people are taking a positive view on the stock because of the synergies post the merger and those who sold ahead of the combination are now returning to buy,” Samji said.
The positive mood spilled into other blue chips lenders. Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB) climbed 1.3 percent in above one-month average daily volume.
“Volumes give a sense of optimism,” said Samji.
In Dubai, the index rose 0.4 percent, it sixth consecutive session of gains, as most blue chips outperformed their smaller peers. Emaar Properties climbed 0.9 percent, but a 4.5 percent slump in Emirates Integrated Telecommunication Co. (EITC) restrained gains as its shares went ex-dividend on Wednesday.
Egypt’s index closed 0.2 percent higher at 13,290 points, but 117 points off its intra-day high. The only share on that index that closed higher was Commercial International Bank (CIB), which added 0.9 percent.
Most other shares wiped out gains from earlier in the day. INVESTMENT FIRM EFG Hermes closed down 1.5 percent to 25.59 Egyptian pounds ($1.42), after hitting a session high of 26.45 pounds.
