"Gulf shares were mixed on Thursday amid lacklustre trade as investors wait for earnings season, while insurance stocks lifted Dubai's index as investors bet on gains for the companies after a mandatory health insurance plan was enforced.
In Dubai, Dar Al Takaful insurance company led the gains, up 14.8 percent. Dubai Islamic Insurance was up 7.95 percent, as investors bet on stronger first-quarter earnings for the sector.
