UPDATE 1-MIDEAST STOCKS-Gulf positive; Oman rises after ruler's return | News by Country | Reuters:
"Most Gulf stock markets edged up in early trade on Tuesday and Oman's bourse was among the top gainers after Sultan Qaboos returned home "in complete health" on Monday from an eight-month medical stay in Germany.
Qaboos, 74, has been absolute ruler of the Arabian peninsula state since 1970, but his absence in Germany since July had led to growing concern about his health.
The Muscat index climbed 0.6 percent as most traded stocks rose. Bank Muscat was the main support, jumping 2.7 percent to 0.528 rial. NBK Capital this week updated the stock's fair value estimate to 0.770 rial following a bonus share issue, with a "buy" recommendation."
