Saudi shares rise to highest since late May on optimism | GulfNews.com

Shares in Saudi Arabia, the Arab world’s biggest stock market, climbed to their highest since late May on valuations and optimism in the US.
Etihad Etisalat Co., a Saudi Arabian telecommunications operator, had its biggest gain since April 1. Saudi British Bank reached its highest close in more than a month while Arab National Bank jumped the most in a week.
The Tadawul All Share Index gained 0.5 percent to 6,987.06, the highest since May 29, at the close in Riyadh. The measure has risen 8.9 percent this year. US stocks rose for the fifth week, giving the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index the longest rally since March, amid better-than-expected earnings and optimism that global central banks will take actions to stimulate growth.
