MIDEAST STOCKS-Saudi, Egypt rise as Brent settles above $30 | Reuters:

"Bourses in Saudi Arabia and Egypt rose in early trade on Wednesday as investors, encouraged by signs that Brent crude may settle above $30 a barrel, moved back into a market that has been hit hard by weak oil prices this year.

Many traders and fund managers believe that if Brent trades above $30 - a level investors are keeping a close eye on - then the region's stock markets may get a temporary boost. Brent traded at $31.80 at 0902 GMT.

Saudi's benchmark index traded up 1.9 percent, after closing 0.5 higher on Tuesday.
