Saudi Arabian shares rose, with the Tadawul All Share Index recording the third-biggest monthly gain in a year, following flat trading in U.S. and European shares.
The 143-company gauge rose 0.3 percent to 6283.73, the highest since June 28, at the 3:30 p.m. close in Riyadh, after falling as much as 0.2 percent. Al Rajhi Bank, the biggest publicly traded lender in Saudi Arabia, was the leading mover, while Samba Financial services, the kingdom’s second biggest lender by market value, drove lagging movers. Tadawul gained 3.1 percent in July, the highest monthly gain since March.
“Today’s small uptick is nothing to call home about,” said John Sfakianakis, chief economist at Banque Saudi Fransi in Riyadh. “Oil has been hovering in the high $70s and global equities have been rather flat as the summer lull is taking hold in Europe and the U.S.”

Debt crisis failed to impede Emirates' growth | Seattle Times Newspaper
Last year the global financial crisis finally burst the economic bubble of Dubai, hitting mainly the real-estate, construction and financial sectors in the extravagantly built Middle Eastern city.
In the fallout, the Dubai government reined in some ambitious plans. One government-owned company whose growth plans were severely cut back was Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE), formed with a grand plan to create various aviation-related businesses.
The aircraft leasing unit of DAE was forced to off-load most of the 200 Boeing and Airbus jets that it had ordered in 2007."
