Still Long on UAE Stocks? Be on Guard, Says Citi - Middle East Real Time - WSJ

Still Long on UAE Stocks? Be on Guard, Says Citi - Middle East Real Time - WSJ:



"Dubai flaunts the world’s tallest building, man-made islands, glitzy resorts and giant shopping malls as calling cards to the world. But it seems to grab more eyeballs with the shocks it sends out every once in a while to international investors.



Last week, its stock market did it again. After a nearly 18-month rally, the benchmark Dubai Financial Market Index tumbled almost 7% on Tuesday, and has now lost 17% this month since being upgraded, as part of the U.A.E., to emerging status by index compiler MSCI. Small change lost, some would argue, given the market is still up a whopping 160% since early 2013.



It, however, raises a difficult question. Bubble?



MSCI UAE Index from 2012 and Nasdaq from 1998, rebased to 100 at peak.
