MIDEAST STOCKS-Saudi index at 7-week low, most Gulf markets fall | Reuters

Saudi Arabia's index .TASI slumped to a seven-week low, with investors reducing positions ahead of end-of-year school holidays, and Oman's market slipped over fears of downbeat second-quarter corporate earnings. The kingdom's all-share Tadawul index .TASI fell 1.1 percent to its lowest close since April 19.

"Most of the technical indicators are giving diversion, some are negative and some are giving reversals - this means the market is weak," said Youssef Kassantini, a Saudi-based financial analyst.

"Market is trading in a very tight range. Traders cannot see the direction of the market."
