MIDEAST STOCKS-Gulf bourses rise in early trade, Saudi petchems lead | Reuters:

"Gains for global equity and oil markets supported Gulf bourses in early trade on Wednesday, with Riyadh's index gaining one percent in the first hour as investors bought back shares which were sold off at the start of the week.

Saudi petrochemical shares were particularly strong, lifted by firm oil prices. Saudi Basic Industries was up 1.6 percent.

Saudi Cement rose 1.6 percent after the company said it had sold its 40-percent stake in a Kuwaiti cement company, Grup International Cement, for $6.59 million, and that would be reflected in its books in the second quarter."
