MIDEAST STOCKS-Gulf markets edge up ahead of Eid holidays | Reuters:
"Stock markets across the Middle East rose on Wednesday, tracking global equities, as investors prepared for an extended break to mark the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr.
Saudi Arabia's main index climbed 0.7 percent despite mixed second-quarter earnings and a pull-back in oil prices.
Petrochemicals giant Saudi Basic Industries Corp (SABIC) rose 1.9 percent after subsidiary Yanbu National Petrochemical Co (Yansab) reported a 63 percent fall in second-quarter net profit on Tuesday but just beat analysts' forecasts."
