Mubadala opens Brazilian office after inheriting assets | The National
Mubadala opens Brazilian office after inheriting assets | The National:
"Mubadala, the Abu Dhabi government investment company, has opened an office in Brazil after successfully securing assets from the crumbling empire of the country’s former billionaire Eike Batista.
The Abu Dhabi Fund had invested $2 billion in Mr Batista’s EBX Group in 2012, but the deal took a turn for the worse when the flamboyant businessman’s newly minted commodities interests failed to meet production targets amid collapsing commodity prices that quickly plunged Brazil into a recession.
The deal, however, came with guarantees that allowed Mubadala to recoup or buy salvageable assets if the agreement fell to pieces, as it did."

Mixed near-term outlook for UAE markets | GulfNews.com
Mixed near-term outlook for UAE markets | GulfNews.com:
"Last week the Dubai Financial Market General Index (DFMGI) advanced by 29.39 or 0.88 per cent to close at 3,384.63, the fourth consecutive week of positive performance. For the first week in four there were more stocks that fell than rose, with 20 declining against 18 advancing. Volume fell well below the prior two weeks, reaching a three-week low.
For the past couple of weeks the index has made several attemps to break above the 200-day exponential moving average (ema), now at 3,405.44. It has represented trend resistance along with the two-week high at 3,420.71. If the high is exceeded the DFMGI next heads towards a resistance zone from 3,498 to 3,542. Thereafter, there is a resistance zone up to the October highs, around 3,740 to 3,763.
So far, given last week’s performance, we can anticipate that the two-week high will be exceeded. The DFMGI fell into Wednesday before finding support at the 21-day ema and rallying, ending with a bullish one-day candle, followed by a four-day closing high on Thursday. This type of price action identifies the 21-day ema as an important trend support indicator for the near-term uptrend, and therefore it should continue to be watched. In addition, by Wednesday the DFMGI was down 3 per cent for the week before recovering into Thursday to close positive. Support was found at 3,253.1, just above the prior week’s low of 3,251.05, thereby maintaining a consistent eight week’s of higher lows."

Exclusive: After Motiva split, Saudi Aramco aims to buy more U.S. refineries - sources | Reuters:
"Saudi Arabia's national oil company wants to buy more U.S. refining and chemical plants to expand its footprint in the world's largest energy market once the break-up of its joint venture with Royal Dutch Shell Plc is complete, sources said.
Ending an often rocky nearly 20-year relationship, Shell (RDSa.L) and Saudi Aramco [SDABO.UL] announced on Wednesday plans to break up Motiva Enterprises LLC [MOTIV.UL] after almost two decades, dividing its assets and leaving Aramco with one plant, the nation's largest crude oil refinery, in Port Arthur, Texas.
Officials from Saudi Refining, the downstream arm of Aramco, told employees following the announcement that the state-owned firm was intent on buying more assets once the Motiva break-up is finished, according to five people who attended the briefing and asked not to be identified due to the sensitivity of the issue."
