Local bourses slipped at the close as investors took a wait-and-see approach ahead of companies that are yet to report their financial statements for the first quarter.
"There's a little bit of consolidation with markets needing a catalyst," said Haissam Arabi, the chief executive of Gulfmena Investments in Dubai. "We're still waiting for bluechips to report their earnings, so it's natural to see stocks moving sideways."
The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange General Index was down 0.1 per cent to 2,690.87 points. Sorouh Real Estate was down 0.7 per cent to Dh1.41 a share after the company disclosed that its profits declined 50 per cent last week.
