MIDEAST STOCKS-Banks hold back Saudi as nearby markets tick higher | Reuters:
"Banks were the main drag on Saudi Arabia's stock market on Monday as investors grew wary before second-quarter financial results, while most other Middle East bourses recovered some of the losses from the sell-off after Britain's Brexit vote.
Riyadh's benchmark fell by 0.2 percent as banking shares were sold in the final hour of trade. Al Rajhi, the sector's largest Islamic bank, lost 2.2 percent to 56.50 riyals and the sector's sub-index dropped 0.8 percent.
A note from Riyad Capital said that tight liquidity and pressure on deposits are among the biggest challenges facing the banking sector this year."

Iran’s short-lived oil export boom is fizzling out. Why? | GulfNews.com
Iran’s short-lived oil export boom is fizzling out. Why? | GulfNews.com:
"Five months after sanctions on Iran were eased, the rapid rise in the country’s oil production and exports appears to be ending as quickly as it began.
Any slowdown in Iranian output will hasten the rebalancing of global oil supply and demand, adding weight to the assertion by Saudi Arabia’s oil minister Khalid Al Falih that “the oversupply has disappeared.”
Iran’s observed crude oil exports, which exceeded 2 million barrels a day in both April and May, slipped by almost 20 per cent in the first three weeks of June."
