MIDEAST STOCKS-Saudi still under pressure, GFH volatile in Dubai | ZAWYA MENA Edition:

"Gulf stock markets were mixed early on Monday with Saudi Arabia under pressure from the kingdom's anti-corruption probe and Dubai -- where trade in GFH Financial was volatile -- flat overall.

The Saudi index was 0.5 percent lower after 20 minutes of trade.
