MIDEAST STOCKS-Major Gulf markets slide after suspected attack on tankers - Reuters:
All major Gulf stock markets dropped on Thursday after suspected attacks on tankers in the Gulf of Oman, with a missile strike by Yemen’s Houthi rebels on a civilian airport in southern Saudi Arabia also weighing on risk sentiment.
Two tankers were hit in the suspected attacks and their crews were evacuated, shipping sources said. Four tankers in the region were struck in a similar incident a month ago.
On Wednesday, Houthi rebels carried out a missile attack on a civilian airport in southern Saudi which wounded 26 people. The Saudi-led military coalition in Yemen said it would respond forcefully.
