MIDEAST STOCKS-Most markets up; Egypt ends losing streak but Qatar down after data

MIDEAST STOCKS-Most markets up; Egypt ends losing streak but Qatar down after data:

"Most Middle Eastern stock markets rose on Wednesday, with Egypt ending a six-day losing streak, but trading volumes were thin in the absence of major new catalysts for investors. The Dubai index rose 0.3 percent as GFH Financial , the most active stock, climbed 2.9 percent. It had plunged 12.9 percent over the previous two days as it acquired a $1.2 billion infrastructure portfolio in Africa and the Middle East, funding it with a $315 million capital increase that took issued and paid-up capital to $975 million - a big dilution for minority shareholders."
