MIDEAST STOCKS-Saudi up on higher oil prices; Aramex down in Dubai | Reuters:
Gulf markets were mixed on Sunday as investors digested a late rise in oil prices that still left the commodity lower for the week.
Oil prices edged up about 1 percent on Friday as strike actions in Norway and Iraq hit supplies. Still, futures were set for a second straight week of decline after Libyan ports reopened and on the view that Iran might still export some crude despite U.S. sanctions.
The Saudi index gained 0.1 percent, with petrochemical giant Saudi Basic Industries Corporation rising 0.2 percent and Jabal Omar Development climbing 0.5 percent.
