RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s stock market rebounded on Wednesday, tracking a recovery in oil prices as they surpassed $100 a barrel.
TASI edged 0.2 percent higher to 12,443, while the parallel Nomu market added 0.3 percent to end at 21,633.
Likewise, the stock exchanges of Qatar and Dubai advanced by 0.4 and 0.9 percent, respectively.
Abu Dhabi, Oman, and Kuwait finished lower, while the Bahraini index closed almost flat.
The rebound in the oil market came on the back of hopes that OPEC could consider supply cuts to support prices amid fears over a global economic slowdown.
Brent crude rose to $101.97 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate traded higher at $95.38 a barrel as of 9:01 a.m. Riyadh time on Thursday.
