Local retail investors help QSE surpass 9,000 mark

The Qatar Stock Exchange on Sunday opened the week strong to surpass 9,000 points, mainly on the back of buying interests of local retail investors.

An across-the-board-buying – particularly in consumer goods, telecom, real estate, insurance and banks – led the 20-stock Qatar Index to gain 0.93% to 9,005.34 points.
Doha Bank-sponsored exchange traded fund QETF gained 0.49%, while Masraf Al Rayan-sponsored QATR fell 2.28%.
