MIDEAST STOCKS-Gulf shares diverge in early trade, small caps support Saudi | Reuters:
"Stock markets in the Gulf diverged in early trade on Sunday with Saudi Arabia's bourse supported by small and mid-sized shares while profit taking weighed on Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Saudi Arabia's index edged up 0.3 percent in the first half hour; Al Jouf Cement was the top gainer, jumping 5.8 percent.
Almarai rose 0.4 percent after the Gulf's largest dairy company reported a 1 percent increase in fourth-quarter net profit to 488.5 million riyals ($130 million), virtually meeting analysts' forecasts as sales rose marginally and the cost of sales fell."
