Within the region, Qatar and UAE‐DFM markets revealed outperformance to end July on a stronger note gaining 7.3% and 5.2% respectively amid increase in the foreign investor inflows along with better than expected Q2 earnings. Saudi market closed lower by 3% tracking the fall in crude prices along with mixed set of results. Overall market participation remained dull in other markets during the holiday shortened month. The Q2 earnings season had revealed a mixed trend in the region.
We anticipate the local and the regional markets to reveal stock specific buying interest from the institutions amid the risk on rally seen in the global equities during the month. We advise investors to adopt bottom up approach in stock picking looking at stable fundamentals and reasonable valuations. On the other hand, the GCC markets may see volatility on prevailing low oil prices. End July 2016, MSM30 Index is trading at PE (Ann.) of 9.2X, PBV of 1.2X and Div. Yield at 5.4%.
