Dubai is the best-performing Gulf market so far this year as improving investor sentiment helps stocks rebound from last year's slump.
Stronger earnings, dividend payments and cheerier global markets have helped underpin a rally across the three biggest regional exchanges. The surge follows an abysmal performance last year as the euro-zone debt crisis and the Arab Spring meant many markets ended in the red.
"The UAE is beginning to look interesting," said Saleem Khokhar, the head of equities at the National Bank of Abu Dhabi (NBAD). "It gives me a comfort level that companies see investors need to be rewarded which calls for a re-rating on the valuation of our markets."
