DUBAI, April 7 (Reuters) - Property and banking stocks lifted markets in the United Arab Emirates on Monday and Qatar's blue chips rallied further, while petrochemical and retail names weighed on Saudi Arabia's bourse.
Dubai's bourse rose 1.4 percent to 4,654 points, recovering from a minor pull-back on Sunday.
Bourse operator DFM gained 0.6 percent on above-average volumes after a top Dubai economic policymaker said an agreement to merge it with the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange had been reached in principle, although nothing had been finalised."
