Middle East Stock Markets: Mixed Performance Amid Earnings Reports and Geopolitical Developments

09:20, 01 August

Edited by: Olga Sukhina

On July 31, 2025, Middle Eastern stock markets exhibited varied performances, influenced by corporate earnings reports and geopolitical events. Saudi Arabia's benchmark index experienced a modest increase, driven by positive earnings from major companies. In contrast, Dubai's main index declined after reaching a 17.5-year high, as investors took profits following a prolonged rally. Qatar's stock index surged, reaching levels not seen in over two and a half years, led by strong performances in the banking sector. Egypt's blue-chip index also climbed, reaching a fresh record high, with significant gains in the real estate sector.

Geopolitical tensions, particularly the Israeli strikes on Iran in June 2025, had a notable impact on regional markets. The strikes led to a significant rise in oil prices, which, in turn, influenced investor sentiment and market dynamics across the Middle East. The conflict also resulted in increased volatility in global stock markets, affecting investor confidence in the region.

In response to these challenges, Middle Eastern economies are actively pursuing diversification strategies to reduce dependence on oil revenues. Initiatives include substantial investments in renewable energy projects, such as large-scale solar plants and green hydrogen production, as well as efforts to develop sectors like tourism, sports, and manufacturing. These measures aim to foster sustainable economic growth and attract foreign investment, positioning the region as a competitive player in the global market.

Overall, while Middle Eastern stock markets face challenges from geopolitical tensions and global economic uncertainties, ongoing diversification efforts and strategic investments are contributing to resilience and potential growth in the region.
