MIDEAST STOCKS-Saudi surges 7.4 pct in heavy trade as region rebounds | Reuters:
"Arabia's stock market surged
7.4 percent on Tuesday as the region rebounded from several days
of heavy selling, encouraged by stronger oil prices and rising
global bourses.
The main Saudi stock index's leap to 7,543 points
was accompanied by the highest trading volume since May 2014, a
positive technical signal. It followed a slide which had taken
the index down 23 percent in August, erasing over $100 billion
of market value.
The bourse's rebound, which accelerated in late trade,
partly eased concern about pressure on the Saudi riyal's peg to
the U.S. dollar. One-year dollar/riyal forwards fell 15
percent and five-year Saudi credit default swaps
, used to insure against a sovereign debt
default, dropped to 100 basis points from 120."

How GCC states’ break-even oil prices stack up | The National
How GCC states’ break-even oil prices stack up | The National:
"The fiscal break-even price of oil is the price that balances an oil-exporting country’s budget.
Different institutions and assessors provide varying estimates of the BEP (break-even price), leading to confusion in the minds of many who track the metric.
The metric, at its core, is simple in terms of calculation. So why, then, the plethora of estimates?"

Emerging markets veteran Mark Mobius stays upbeat on long-term outlook amid sell-off | The National
Emerging markets veteran Mark Mobius stays upbeat on long-term outlook amid sell-off | The National:
"Mark Mobius, the fund manager who popularised investment in emerging markets, is far from throwing in the towel, even as the asset class he made his name in is heading towards its biggest annual decline since the global financial crisis of 2008.
“The long-term outlook is very good for two important reasons,” he said.
“First, at the present time many investors are underweight in emerging markets. Secondly, emerging markets continue to experience more than double the growth of developed markets.”"

Oil slides to 6-year low as commodities tumble - FT.com
Oil slides to 6-year low as commodities tumble - FT.com:
"Oil plummeted more than 6 per cent to levels last seen during the financial crisis and a broad index of commodity prices slid to the lowest point of this century as economic doubts gathered over China, the engine room of demand growth over the past decade.
China is the world’s largest importer of raw materials and the biggest energy consumer globally. Mounting signs of a sputtering economy, including a plunge in the Shanghai equity market Monday, have raised the prospect of softer demand for oil and other commodities, removing another support for prices laid low by plentiful supply.
Paul Gait, an analyst at Bernstein, said: “There’s panic and people are selling everything that sniffs of China.”"
