Saudi Arabia's index added 0.8 percent with nearly three-quarters of the 14 listed Saudi petrochemical shares advancing, after Brent oil futures closed 1.9 percent higher at $56.70 a barrel on Friday. Saudi Industrial Investment was the top gainer in the sector, jumping 5.5 percent. The positive mood spilled into other sectors, with banking shares also advancing.
