Gulf Market Response to U.S. Inflation Data: Most Gulf equities rose following a global stock market rally spurred by softer U.S. inflation data, which increased expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut in September; Saudi Arabia's index saw a 0.3% rise while Qatar's index gained 0.4%.
Mixed Earnings Impact on Regional Indices: Despite some gains, mixed earnings reports affected sentiment, with Dubai's index declining 0.3% due to losses in real estate and finance sectors, while Abu Dhabi's index remained rangebound as various sectors experienced both gains and losses.
